I recently bought an HP Sprocket and tested it immediately with no problems (after powering it up and charging it to full capacity).
It printed fine so I put it away for a week and wanted to print something yesterday.
I charged the Sprocket with the cable that came with it and the light came on RED and I left it plugged in until the light became green, no problem so far.
However, when I push the button on the side to switch it on, nothing happens.
No light to indicate it is starting up or anything.
I tried (eventhough the device is off) resetting it with a pin but that obviously didn't work either.
Is it dead? Eventhough it charges ?
Thanks for any advice you may have.

I just passed by and saw your message. Just a blind shot: Did you try to plug the sprocket for charging: Does it light then? Can you try to make it print when charging? Could possibly indicate something about the issue.
Best wishes! 🙂

When I plug it in then the light comes on Red.
after a while it turns Green.
when it is green I cannot see it on my iPad in BTooth.
when I disconnect it from the wall outlet it switches off but I cannot switch it on.
thanks for any suggestion you may have.
i am not able to print during powering up.
just don’t see it in BT.

OK. Sure I should love to give you a hand, but it looks like I cannot assist you with this issue. I have a Sprocket Plus that has served me faithfully for some time. I consider it as a product I rely upon. Wish you good luck hoping that you find a solution.
