Hi There,

Hi @Danny19871,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

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

I understand how frustrating it is when your HP ENVY 5055 won’t power on, especially when the power button just blinks briefly. This usually indicates a power supply issue or an internal hardware fault. Let’s go through the steps:

Step 1: Check Power Source

• Ensure the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet (not a surge protector or extension cord).
• Try a different outlet to rule out power issues.

Step 2: Inspect Power Cord & Adapter

• Confirm you’re using the original HP power cord and adapter.
• Check for damage or loose connections.

Step 3: Perform a Power Reset

• Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the wall outlet.
• Wait 60 seconds.
• Plug it back in and press the power button.

Step 4: Remove External Devices

• Disconnect any USB cables or memory cards.
• Try powering on again.

Step 5: Check for LED Blink Pattern

• If the power button blinks and then goes off, it may indicate an internal hardware failure.

Next Steps

If the printer still does not power on:

• It likely needs service or replacement.
• Contact HP Support for repair options:

I hope this helps.

Take care and have an amazing day!
