No matter what I do I cannot get the printer to turn on. Was working fine one day and the next get this "stuck on initializing". Tried to remove power cord from printer and wall. Waited 24 hours. Replaced. Did a hard reset. Not matter what I try won't work.
Thank you!

With power on press the engine test button from rear side of 3600n to see if it can print or not.
If it does you have a bad formatter (mainboard) needed to be replaced (or you can try to bake it in the oven-search it on YouTube).

Thank you - Tried that many times before posting. Doesn't do anything. As far as I see there are no DIMMS installed to reseat. Printer still cycles through the 3 status lights. ALso - Not making any noise. Previously upon startup or when using the printer it would make "noises" when starting. Now - Nothing - Silent.
