Flash of death - my 1270 seems to be gone ...
2001-09-04 by Jann Lipka
I have a "regular " 1270 printer that was doing quite a good job until yestareday when it went completely dead . The only thing that is alive is all lights flashing whenever the On button is pressed . ( the lights will stop flashing about one minute after power button is depressed ) USB connection to the computer doesn`t matter . It feels like an obvious hardware failure . I have been trying diverse " resetting" techniques with no result ( like pushing paper and ink buttons while pressing ON , then pressing only paper button ) etc. Printer is only 15 months old , but the warranty is over. While talking to Epson they told me that normally it is more expensive to repair then buy a new one ... Is there something else I could try ( before making landfil bigger ) Thank you for any suggestions , and I understand it is not a BW issue , I`m just tring to reach as experienced and helpfull people as possible ;-) Jann Lipka , Stockholm , Sweden
