HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M283fdw will not start. Screen is blank and power light is flashing. Pressing power button does nothing. Unplugging power and waiting, then reconnecting power has no affect. Any help appreciated.

Hi @Clinter68,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

I see that you are facing an issue with your printer.

A) Please follow the steps below to perform a power drain.

1) Take out the cartridges

2) Unplug the power cord from the printer & wall.

3) Press and hold the power button down for 15 seconds and release the power button, wait for about 30 seconds.

4) Plug the power cord back into the printer and wall, ensure the printer is plugged into the wall & not into a surge protector.

5) Insert the cartridges back into the printer.

Remove the cartridges > Unplug the power cord > Wait for 30 seconds > Plug the power cord back in > Insert the cartridges

B) Kindly refer to the steps on this link to update the printer firmware and let me know if that resolves the issue.

Thank you for your reply however the steps provided did not change anything. I am also unable to update the firmware using the provided link as the printer display remains blank.
