HP Sprocket
iOS

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.

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.

ok, that was not very helpful, is there anyone who can help or make a meaningful remark about my issue?

short from: go back to BestBuy and replace it as I am unable to do that now.
