[Jasmine1996]

my photo printer chraging light is flashinging red and green at the same time. When i try to charge it using the cord that it came and a wall charger. I was wondering what I need to do in order to fix this problem. Because my hp sprocket has been chargin for about 8 hours and won't turn on because the charging light keeps flashing red and green at the same time.

Hi! @Jasmine1996, Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community!

I understand your sprocket wont turn on and the LED light is flashing red and green.

Don't worry I'll try to help you out.

Did you make any changes to your printer?

Try the steps recommended below.

Please try few steps recommended below.

1.    Reset the Sprocket unit by placing a push-pin or needle into the small hole on the rear of the unit.  (Reset instructions in the support doc HERE)
2.    Plug in the Sprocket unit with the provided micro-USB cable.  Connect to either a computer USB port or USB wall charger.
3.    Allow the Sprocket unit to charge for 10 minutes.  Note:  A call back may be required in these instances.
4.    Power on the Sprocket unit by pressing/holding the power button for 3 seconds.
5.    A white LED should illuminate on the rear of the unit if power up is successful.
6.    Remind the customer to charge their Sprocket for an additional 60-90 minutes to enable a full battery charge.
 

If the issue still persists uninstall the sprocket app and reinstall the app and try updating the sprocket firmware from the sprocket app and check if it helps.

Open Sprocket app go to menu-->Sprocket---> Printers; A blue firmware update link will be present if an update is available.
