The printer's power will not stay on. I notice the power cord now has some "play" where it connects to the back of the printer. I can jiggle the cord back and forth slightly, and when I do so the power light goes on and off.  Sometimes (after jiggling) it will stay on; other times it won't. Both the power cord and printer appear undamaged, yet are not interfacing properly to keep the power on. Might replacing the power cord solve this problem or is it likely the printer is biting the dust?
