How to fix my HP Photosmart C5580 printer?
-
Okay, I've had the HP Photosmart C5580 printer for about 3 years. It worked perfectly fine a month ago, and now, when I turn it on, a blue screen comes up with a "power button icon" and an error code underneath it. A couple of the codes I got were: -H30009C -FF00000 And sometimes, it turns on, then it prints half of a page, then shuts down. It also shows random error codes like "Turn off and then on." ; It wont turn off...and "Paper Jam", ; when there's no paper in it. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Answer:
You will need a few tools: Hammer Screw Driver Safety Glasses Plastic Bag Carefully unplug the unit from the electrical outlet. Make sure that you remove it from the base of the cord and not the cord itself. Take it to an area where you will have lots of room as you will need to remove some parts. Make sure to don your safety glasses. Take the screw driver and lay it next to the HP. Take the hammer and smash the printer to pieces. If you cannot break them into small pieces by way of the hammer, then see if the screw driver will help. Take all the pieces and place them in your plastic bag. Remember hat you should not throw any electrical items in regular trash as it may harm the environment with all the computer viruses that infects these God forsaken items. Take it to an E-waste center. This is the most important part. Go out and purchase a new printer and don't expect that it will last more than 3 years. Sometimes they do. most times they don't.

As someone that used to fix printers for a living--three years is an average lifetime these days for modern consumer-grade printers. They are basically disposable, unfortunately. ~~ ScienceMikey My "Best-of-Breed software for Windows" list: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/opcc/links/01___Software_related_information_001198934133/Windows_related_link_001119378867/Software____Links_an_001081730158/Best_of_breed_Free_s_001059927670
