  • 1Damaged external power adapter.
  • 2Severe fluctuations in the power grid.
  • 3Corroded power port contacts.
  • 4Use of a non-original adapter with wrong amperage.

Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

If the error blinks repeatedly upon startup, the mainboard is failing to receive a stable voltage level. Verification with a multimeter is recommended.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Unplug the printer completely.
  2. Check the power cord for damage.
  3. Test the unit with a verified power supply.
  4. Connect directly to a wall outlet.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Use a surge protector in areas with unreliable power grids. Always use official power adapters. Avoid daisy-chaining multiple power strips.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If replacing the power supply fails to clear the error, the internal voltage regulation circuit is likely damaged.
