Officejet 4620
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

When I plug in the printer, the power light flashes & the screen does the normal thing - hp logo & scrolling bar at the bottom.  Then a message comes up saying "! To avoid damage use the On button to shut down. Do not use".  If I hit OK the message goes away and the usual screen options of print / scan / fax come up.  Then, regardless of whether or not I hit OK, the printer just dies and the power button is unresponsive.  If I unplug and plug back in, it will do the same, ad infinitum.

 

Any clues anyone?

 

Thanks, Andy

@Andy3210,

Welcome to HP Forums, this is a great place to get support, find answers and tips.


Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you.

I understand that your HP Officejet 4620 e-All-in-One Printer does not stay powered on. 

 

This issue could occur if the printer is connected to an outlet that supplying low power.

 

Let's go through a few steps to resolve this issue.

 

And here's the step by step guide for you in the link: Printer Turns Off Unexpectedly or Repeatedly

Thanks Rainbow23 for taking the time to respond.

 

I'm afraid neither of the help topics fit the issue I'm having - there's definitely no problem with the power outlet and & I've unplugged it several times which should have reset the power module if that was the issue.  There's also nothing I can do about firmware issues without being able to turn on and connect to the printer.

 

I did another search regarding this and it seems to have been an issue with this model for a number of years, and the suggestion was that faulty power modules were being fitted.

 

Do you (or does anyone else out there)  have any other ideas to resolve this problem?

 

Thanks

@Andy3210,

Thank you for your reply, I'll be more than glad to help you.

 

I understand that the issue has not resolved after following the steps mentioned in the previous interaction.

 

This could be a hardware issue with the unit.

 

Hence, please contact HP Phone Support for further assistance at the link: www.hp.com/contacthp

 

You have a good day ahead.
