Sprocket will not charge.  Red light comes on when you plug it in, but turns off after a Few seconds and will not do anything.  Won’t turn on won’t charge.  Nothing

@Mom2Lu, Welcome to HP Support Community!

 

I see that you're unable to charge the printer or power it on. Try the steps below and see if that makes a difference-

 

Use a different USB cable to charge the device. Also, try resetting the printer.

 

  1. Turn on the Sprocket.

  2. Remove the Paper Cover, and then use a narrow object, such as a pen or paperclip, to press and hold the Reset button for 3 seconds until the Sprocket turns off.

    NOTE: 

    The location of the Reset button varies by Sprocket model. Typically, the button is located underneath the Paper Cover, but can also be found on the outside next to the charging port.

Keep me posted.
