At its 10th year from purchase suddenly the before perfectly working IP7250 hasn't turned on anymore. No LED, no noise or any other sign of life.
- The PSU has been tested and works normally.
- I wanted to try to remove all cartridges and see if something happens, as some people said that this sometimes may work, but the head is parked on the right and doesn't seem moveable "manually" as if there is some kind of head lock mechanism that prevents this, although strangely in a video tutorial I have seen a guy that moved it manually with printer powered off, without any strong resistance, and I haven't clear if it is normal that mine it is locked and there is some trick to unlock it or what else.
Help is appreciated..
