Is the power on?

When the all-in-one is
connected to a grounded
power source and is turned
on, the control panel shows
Hewlett Packard with moving
cursors indicating that the
firmware code is loading, and
the main motor rotates for
approximately 45 to 60
seconds. When the firmware
is done loading, Scanner
bulb warming up
might
appear on the control-panel
display, and the scan head
moves back and forth for
10-15 seconds. If you lift the
scanner lid, you will see that
the scanner bulb is lit. Near
the end of this time, the
automatic document feeder
(ADF) motor turns on for
about two seconds.

No power due to failed power source,
cable, switch, or fuse.
