my printer is HP Deskjet 400,
I've used it for almost 8 years perhaps...
it never shows something bad...
But today I don't know why it can't be turn on...
I've put & check all the cable, and all just right & ok...
can anyone help me?
thanks

Time for a new printer maybe.
If there is no power to the printer then its either the printer, the power cable or the socket.
older printers often have a power switch on the back- check that.
Plug it into a different power socket and see.
Try another power cable and see.
Basically if its the cable or the printer you may as well buy a new printer as a replacement cable can be expensive.

Try plugging it into another wall socket . If this is not possible then unplug it and plug in anything ( a lamp, radio , or blow dryer) into the socket where it had been plugged in to make sure that the socket is functioning. If it isn't that is your problem. The outlet could have gone bad or a breaker might have been thrown. If the outlet is not the problem then look in the manual for the location of the fuse in your printer and test it or just replace it . If you can't find the manual go to the manufacturers web site and get the info or just look on the machine and see if you can find the location of the fuse.

try it on a different computer to see if it is the printer or the computer

Try to reimput your set up disc. Something in windows has probably screwed up.
