Printer Refuses to Power on!

Hi, has anyone had a failure of one of the plugs that supplies power to the printer? This is what I have been using. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07DMKBZ9R/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I was in the middle of a print and it literally just shut down. The red light will not illuminate on the power switch so I am assuming that this is at fault? Any advice on preventing this. Should I look for a better plug in? I check the fuse and it was ok.

The switch has a fuse. It is between the red switch and the power plug. Did you check that?

Yeah the fuse is intact

Sorry, just saw you checked the fuse.

No worries

Did you check with a meter to be sure?

primary-violetOP•12/28/22, 9:29 PM

No. I will grab it and try

I had a slight flicker on the red light when I was testing it and then nothing so I suspect the switch has failed. I barely used it tho. I usually power on and off at the power bar

There have been issues with this type in the past. Several posts about using a seperate switch from the power inlet. I have the same setup as you and have not had a problem though

Okay, I ordered a new one. There was no smell of any kind of burning or puffs of smoke. Unfortunately I broke a pin off the back so I can't test further. Should I archive this until I can get the new plug on the 8th?

Others may have some feedback.

I am getting 1.2 ohms

I suspect the switch then. Unfortunate the lead broke off. I suspect an open circuit. Is this single pole or double pole? might be able to check the other side if double pole

I am not 100% sure. It makes sense tho. I appreciate your time very much and I will be sure to update and do a full report when I get to the bottom of it which will hopefully help others. Merry Christmas
