Printer error message and blinking on/off button

HP Laserjet 4635

error message 0XBA10ABBC

Yes, I have this also. I noticed my printer screen seem to be stuck "loading". I tried to power off with the button, but nothing happened. I unplugged the power cord and plugged back in. It immediately started flashing ERROR CODE 0XBA10ABBC and the power button is flashing. 

I can hear a faint beeping as it flashes.

I've tried rebooting, hard wiring it via printer cable to my laptop (since the network can't find it), but it seems to be stuck.

@Buddy122 Welcome to HP Community!

Let's try these steps -

1) Take out the cartridges.

2) Unplug the power cord from the printer & wall.

3) Wait for 30 seconds. 

4) Plug the power cord back into the printer and wall, ensure the printer is plugged into the wall & not to a surge protector.

5) Insert the cartridges back into the printer.

Also, try updating the printer's firmware - HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware

Sorry, I thought I did.

I tried the steps suggested. The ink cartridges can’t be removed as they don’t Center when the door is opened. The machine seems to be stuck in a power up loop. I’ve connected a printer cable to my laptop, but because it never fully powers up, I can’t run firmware updates.

I am having the exact same problem. Same error, same printer.  It happened after I updated it.  Any suggestions?

The same thing here. I was asked to update my printer's firmware last night. I updated it before going to bed and this morning I end up with an error code 0XBA10ABBC. The printer is not working and the power button keeps flashing. My printer is an HP 4630 all in one.

I have exactly the same problem. But with the difference, I did not update the firmware. The error appeared two weeks ago, and since then I have been unable to do anything with the printer. The power button keeps flashing. My printer is an HP 4636 all in one.

There has to be someone who can tell me what this error code means. Is it worth repairing the printer or should I buy a new one ?

[MrsMusicNerd]

I just bought a new printer since I needed it this week for school prep.

If anyone gets a fix, please comment. I still have my OfficeJet 4630, I just don't have time this week to sit around and wait on tech support.
