Canon Pixma Pro 100 won't start

[André]

I reorganized my room yesterday and moved my printer. Was handled properly and not bumped around or anything. Afterwards, I was able to start up the printer and use it normally. Today I went to turn it back on and nothing happens.

I tried unplugging it from the power bar and plugging it directly in the outlet and still nothing.

Anything else is working properly in both the power bar and directly in the outlet.

Any advice on things to try before contacting Canon.

Hi @André, this may sound a bit silly, but try pushing on the power lead a bit harder, where it enters the back of the printer, sometime these female plugs don’t fit very smoothly...

Thanks. I had tried that, tried a few times actually and turning the connector over and things like holding down the power button longer (maybe there was some hard reset function). Anyways, i was just about to come update. I ended up unplugging everything and leaving it sit for an hour or two. Plugged everything back in and it started fine. No clue what happened but kind of makes me nervous it'll happen again. Am going to check if it is still under warranty.

@André, Thank you for the feedback and the good news, I’m glad you back in business again...
