Photosmart C310 won't power up - cycling on and off

[Clasuz]

When I plug my printer in, without even pressing the power button, the screen lights up with HP logo for about 30 seconds, then goes off for a few seconds, the comes back on with the logo screen again, and so the pattern repeats.  It never actually starts up.  This is happening both when connected to the laptop and when it's just plugged in standing alone.

Hi @Clasuz,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

I understand that you are facing power issues with your printer. I'd like to help!

Step 1: Change the energy settings (optional)

Your HP printer is designed to reduce power consumption when the printer is not active. Auto Power Off or Schedule On and Off enables the printer to turn off after two hours of inactivity. When you are ready to use your printer again, press the Power button to turn the printer back on.

Check the Schedule On and Off or Auto Power Off feature on the printer's control panel or through the software, depending on your printer model.

Follow the remaining steps from this document and see how it goes. 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
