@Blakeja99, Welcome to HP Support Community,

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

If your HP printer is receiving power but won't turn on, there are several troubleshooting steps you can follow to potentially resolve the issue. Here's a set of recommended actions:

Check the Power Supply and Cable

Power Cable: Ensure the power cable is securely plugged into both the printer and the electrical outlet. Sometimes the cable can get loose or slightly disconnected.

Outlet Check: Plug another device (like a lamp or phone charger) into the same power outlet to verify that the outlet is working.

Perform a Hard Reset

Unplug the Printer: Disconnect the printer from the power source completely (unplug from the outlet).

Wait for 30 Seconds to 1 Minute: This allows any residual power to dissipate and can reset the printer's internal components.

Plug the Printer Back In: After waiting, plug the printer back in and try to turn it on by pressing the power button.

Check for Blinking Lights or Error Codes

Power Button Lights: Check if there are any blinking or flashing lights on the printer. These lights may indicate an error or issue that is preventing the printer from powering on.

Error Codes: If there are any specific error codes or messages displayed on the printer screen, take note of them as they can help identify the issue.

Check the Power Button

Power Button Check: Ensure that the power button is functioning correctly. Sometimes a stuck button or internal issue may prevent the printer from turning on. If the button feels "stuck" or doesn’t press easily, try pressing it gently but firmly.

I hope this helps.
