Printer touch screen not working

[KazinLincs]

Hiya - my Officejet printer is still under warranty (just) but thought I'd run this past you guys first.  The touchscreen display has stopped working.  The printer itself works still, all necessary lights are on...the screen simply doesn't work.  Am I missing something obvious like a simple push of a button somewhere....or should I go straight to Customer Support (not that my office hours fit around their call centre hours grrr).  Thanks

Thank you for posting on HP Forums,

As I understand, printer touchscreen is not working,

No worries, as I'll be glad to help you, that said, I'll need a few more details to dissect your concern & provide an accurate solution:

When was the last time it worked fine?

Were there any hardware/software changes made? 

Have you performed Firmware update from your PC?

Let's try these steps to resolve the issue: 

Hard Reset: 

• With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Remove USB cable, if present.
• Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
• Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord (This is important) and then plug back the power cord to the printer.
• Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle.

Perform Firmware Update: Follow steps from the link https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/ish_1776648-1643972-16

Flower_Bud - thank you, you are a star.  Your solution seems to have done the trick (the power off solution I mean).  It may seem a trivial problem to the many millions out there but being a novice, your advice was invaluable.  Thank you 🙂

Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post personal information (serial numbers and case details).

Thank you for visiting the HP Support Community. 

Have a great day!

I have this same problem on an OfficeJet Pro 7740, and the fix above isn't working. The warranty may have expired on my printer, so I will revert back to using my old Brother printer.
