Printer Powers Up, Carriage Slams Hard to Right, Error Code 3

[sandl007]

Hi To All,

The printer in question is still under warranty but hoping it's issue be resolved here. Upon powering on, the carriage carrying the print heads slams hard to the right then an E3 error code is displayed, printing isn't possible. Following the HP tutorials  but the problem persists. Looking inside the unit I'm finding no obstructions in the print heads path nor any debris or paper pieces. It appears to be an internal malfunction regarding circuitry. I attempted contacting an HP tech several times but was disconnected and never having the printer issue resolved. Would appreciate help on either repairing the unit at home or how to go about obtaining warranty service. Thank you!

Thank you for the help but the problem still persists. At this point I'd like to pursue warranty service since it's still in effect. Attempted help through online chat but keep getting disconnected from the tech. Please help!

@sandl007 if your device is within warranty, the instructions listed previously should get you to a number for your region, however, if that's not working, 

Please check If you have an HP authorized service center near by, you should be able to take it to them and have it checked,
