Error 8AF30001 on Smart Tank 7605

Hello, my printer shows error code 8AF30001 after trying to make a firmware update. I turned it off for more than 30sec several times without getting a solution. Can somebody help me, please?

Hello 296418 (are you a bot?),
just follow the instructions given in this thread by OrtizFam and me. Here's the step-by-step procedure summary which worked for me (and OrtizFam:

1. Turn the printer off and unplug it
2. While pressing and holding in the Power button, plug the printer in (continue holding power button)
3. When two buttons illuminate (back arrow, red x) release the power button. Wait a few seconds
4. This will allow it to boot into a manufacturer diagnostic and maintenance menu. My compliments to the designers for having the smarts to include a lower level BIOS to fix broken firmware flashes!!!
5. Press right X
6. Press Left Arrow
7. Press right X serveral times, until the menu with the question mark appeas.
8. The screen will show Prev, OK, Next. 3 buttons will be illuminated; the back arrow, circled question mark, and a red X. These are your Prev, OK, and Next buttons!
9. Click either the back arrow (Prev) or the red X (next) to cycle through the menu until you find the "DRIVE REFLASH" option
10. Click the circled question mark (OK)
11. Wait for it to complete and hopefully boot back into normal working mode.

Hope this helps.

Best,

Thank you to BeRoch and OrtizfmFam. I had the same problem when trying to update my brand new HP 7605 and after a couple of attempts to get the key strokes right, it also worked like a dream.

Many thanks both!
