HP ENVY 4520 All-in-One Printer series

My Envy 4520 All-in-one printer has suddenly come up with the screen message:

 

ERROR CODE

0X00F81D42

TRKERNEL C

 

Have tried turning the printer off, but it reverts to this message after a very brief period of normal functioning.

 

Have also tried disconnecting the printer and removing the printer cartridges, same outcome.

 

Any ideas on the fix?

 

Thanks

I received this error message over and over again, trying everything I can on the forums to fix it.  The fixes would work for a day or so, then an error code would happen again.  Now the "help" is saying to service the printer. This was a $99 printer, purchased it because it was the only photoprinter that HP made.  I switched from Espon many, many years ago.  It's time to switch back, I guess.  My epson printers seem to last much longer than HP, I can't see spending money on servcing a brand when I've had issues with HP time and time again.
