Hi @telebob98 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.

I understand how frustrating this must be—especially when the printer shows no signs of power at all. Let's go through some HP-specific troubleshooting steps to try and revive your HP OfficeJet 4630.

Step-by-Step Troubleshooting for HP OfficeJet 4630 Not Turning On

 

1. Perform a Basic Power Reset

• Unplug the printer from the power source.
• Disconnect all cables (USB, Ethernet, etc.).
• Wait 2-3 minutes to allow residual power to drain.
• Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds (while unplugged).
• Plug the power cord directly into a wall outlet (avoid power strips/surge protectors).
• Turn the printer back on and check if it powers up.

 

2. Check the Power Cord and Adapter

• Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the printer and the wall outlet.
• Try using a different power outlet to rule out electrical issues.
• If possible, test with a compatible HP power adapter from another HP printer.

 

3. Inspect the Power Module

• Some HP printers have an external power module (a small box on the power cord).
• If your printer has one, check if the green light on the module is on.
• If the light is off, the power module may need replacement.

 

4. Try a Hard Reset

• Unplug the printer and remove the ink cartridges.
• Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds.
• Reinsert the cartridges and plug the printer back in.
• Turn it on and check if it responds.

Let me know if you need further clarification! I know how frustrating printer power issues can be, but hopefully, this gets your HP OfficeJet 4630 back up and running. 😊
