I have a brother mfc printer and it won't turn on. i have checked that the cables are plugged in. still there is no lights on the machine. can you tell me how do I fix it?
If your Brother printer won’t power on, it could be due to a variety of reasons such as a faulty power supply, blown fuse, or internal hardware failure. Here’s a step-by-step guide to troubleshoot the issue:
- Let’s make sure that the power cord is securely connected to the printer and a functional electrical outlet. Test the outlet with another device to confirm it’s working. Avoid using surge protectors or power strips and plug the printer directly into the wall.
- Unplug the printer and hold the power button for 30 seconds to drain residual power. While holding the button, reconnect it to the outlet. Release and try turning it on. This can sometimes fix power-related glitches.
- Look for any visible damage to the power cord or the printer’s power port. If possible, test with a compatible power cord to rule out issues with the cable.
- printers, including Brother models, often have internal fuses near the power supply. If the fuse is blown, the printer won’t turn on. Replacing the fuse is inexpensive but should be done carefully or by a technician.
- If the power supply unit, motherboard, or power button is faulty, professional repair may be necessary. Contact an authorized Brother service center for diagnosis and cost estimates.
Once you will make these changes into your brother machine. It should start working fine.
