HI @Zain51,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

If your HP LaserJet 135A printer is not initializing and the screen is showing nothing, here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Check Power Connection

• Ensure the Power Cable is Secure: Make sure the power cable is firmly connected to both the printer and the power outlet.
• Try a Different Outlet: Plug the printer into a different wall outlet to rule out issues with the power source.

2. Inspect the Power Cable

• Check the power cable for any visible damage. If possible, try using a different power cable that is compatible with your printer.

3. Reset the Printer

• Unplug the Printer: Disconnect the power cable from the printer and wall outlet.
• Wait: Leave it unplugged for about 1-2 minutes.
• Reconnect: Plug the power cable back in and turn the printer on.

4. Check for Obstructions

• Open the printer and check for any paper jams or obstructions inside. Sometimes, a jam can prevent the printer from initializing properly.

5. Listen for Sounds

• When you power on the printer, listen for any unusual sounds like grinding or clicking, which may indicate internal hardware issues.

6. Examine the Display

• If the display is completely blank, it may indicate a power issue or a hardware fault. If you see any lights blinking, refer to the printer's manual for troubleshooting those specific error indicators.

7. Firmware Reset (if possible)

• Some HP printers have a factory reset option. Refer to the user manual or HP support website for instructions on how to perform a reset.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
