HP LaserJet 3050 All-In-One Printer Logo
Susan Hunter Posted on Nov 19, 2011

Hp 3050 power button quit functioning; cannot press it down. Is this self reparable?

The power button is stuck in the down position and will not pop back up or turn on the unit. Taking the small button cover off accomplished nothing. I haven't seen any way of removing the panel. Is this something that can be fixed by customer?

    Has the question by Susan Hunter been answered? She asked if the power button situation on an HP Deskjet 3050 can be repaired by customer? I have the same issue and could not see any way to repair it.

To fix the power button, which is stuck down or does not spring back up....remove the panel which has the all the buttons and the power button, the panel does not have any screws to remove, you got the pull it out from the lower side and move slowly towards the top. Once the panel is free, you will see that the power button is connected with a small plastic connector which would be broken, fix the broken piece or get a new piece and the problem is fixed........

    I have the same problem as well. The power button stays down and won't spring back up. The printer is relatively new. Can't see how to get the cover off without breaking something. HP website useless. People we bought it from useless. Anyone can help?

    Mine just did the same thing! I was able to get it open without breaking anything, (was not easy) and there is no way to fix it at all. What the heck? I got this printer about 1.5 years ago, but I don't use it often so it should be running just fine. Anyone have solutions?

How to send multi recepient

Given the model of the printer you indicated, I assume your use of the word "send" is in reference to the fax function. Sending a fax to multiple recipients is actually quite easy! Here's how you do it:

1. Load your document into the ADF (automatic document feeder)
2. Dial the fax number of your first recipient
3. Press the button with the check mark on it (DO NOT PRESS SEND AT THIS POINT)
4. Dial the number of your next recipient
5. Repeat steps 3 through 4 until you've entered all the numbers you intend to send the fax to
6. Once all numbers are entered, press SEND

That's all there is to it! If you found this solution helpful, please leave a positive rating!

My fridge keeps beeping even though the door is shut. The fridge temperature indicator keeps going up and then down. Can you please tell me what's wrong?

If the reset procedures don't stop the beeping and you are out of warranty, here is an easy fix:
1- (You can unplug the fridge just to be cautious, but not necessary.) Remove the control panel from the front of the fridge. Mine pulls straight out without removing any screws.
2- On the back of the control panel is a black, round device - the only thing that pokes through the back of the panel. This device is small, maybe 1/2" in diameter and the same deep. (if it won't pop off easily, remove the 4 screws to remove the back cover for easier access.)
3- You will see a thin round disk inside. This is the speaker. Remove this disk, press the black speaker cover back on and press the control panel back into the front of the fridge.

All the controls will continue to work as before, but NO BEEPS!
Yea!
