Ensure that the power cord is correctly plugged into the printer and the electrical outlet. If the power cord is damaged, replace it with a new one. Try to plug the printer into a different outlet to rule out any issues with the outlet. If the power cord and outlet are okay, the next step is to check the power button.
If you have an Ecotank printer, another possible cause of power issues is a faulty motherboard. The motherboard controls the printer`s various functions and may be the reason why the printer won`t turn on. In this case, you may need to replace the motherboard to get your printer working again.
Faulty power cords and connections are an uncommon but possible cause of a printer not turning on.
