Product: HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M281dfw
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Color LaserJet Pro MFP M281fdw has started turning on and off and on and off and on repeatedly by itself.  When it was new 4 months ago it was doing the same thing and quickly burned up the power board and had to be sent back to HP and replaced.  This "new" printer is now doing the same thing.  This one is now NOT under warranty so I'm concerned that it too will burn up and all I will have is a $450 paper weight.

I have done the automated Q&A online and the printer is NOT plugged into a power strip, I HAVE replaced the perfectly good power cord, I am now using a DIFFERENT outlet, and etc...  What else can I do before this printer burns up too?
