HP OfficeJet Pro 8740 All-in-One Printer
Microsoft Windows 11

Up until late last week, my Officejet 8740 has worked pretty good. Then all of a sudden, the LCD screen went completely white and tapping it did nothing. I unplugged it to power cycle it, and it came on briefly, but then went white again. Left it unplugged all weekend, and when I plugged it back in, it came on for maybe a minute. I tried to see how much ink was left, and then it went all white again. Tried just shutting it off and waiting a minute, but no luck. When I go from a computer, it says the printer is offline, but it should be on. It's just that LCD screen makes it look like it's off. 

 

Any ideas?
