Hello everyone, I hope you're having a great day????.
For a few days now, my printer, an Epson XP - 257, has not turned on. I remember that the last time it powered up, I just saw the power button light up for 2 or 3 seconds, then nothing. So I did the following:
1) I tried the power cord on another device with the same voltage and amperage, and that device works perfectly.
2) I thought it might be the new compatible cartridge I installed, so I disassembled one side of the printer to access the cartridge carriage. I replaced the new cartridge with the old one before reconnecting the printer, and it still didn't turn on.
3) I took apart the other side of the printer to check if there was a cable or ribbon that wasn't connected, and to my surprise, everything is connected and in place as if there was no problem.
I'm out of ideas regarding the problem; could someone please help me?
Thank you and have a great day everyone????.

Hello.
See page 116 of the user manual to download on PC
https://download.epson-europe.com/pub/download/6302/epson630204eu.pdf
But if there is no improvement, I fear that the printer's logic board may be defective. The cost of this part is about 3/4 of the price of the printer plus labor if you do not carry out the repair yourself.
See you later . . .
