    As the subject title, water got in via the paper feeder (I know, don’t ask 🙄 ), over a year ago. Since then it turns on, then the red light comes on and the green light goes out. It sounds as though it’s getting ready to print, then just dies.

    I have changed the cartridges, and asked a computer shop to look at it, but they say it’s not worth it.

    I thought I would have another go at it today, but it’s just the same as it was last year. Does anyone have any idea how it can be fixed, or should I just bin it?
    It was working perfectly before it was ‘bathed’!

    I wanted to get into sublimation printing, and it would have been perfect!
    😥

    do the green and red light flash alternately?
    if they do its for the skip, because an engineer will need to fix it and you’re looking at £150 minimum
