Hi,
I have a lexmark x5470 printer/fax/scanner/copier that i absolutely love. Thing is, it got zapped by huge power surge the other day and now it wont turn on. Plugging the power cord in, the power box little light does light up and there's even a little light inside the printer that comes on. BUT, the "on" button gives me no results whatsoever.
One other thing, I happen to have the VERY SAME exact printer in storage with all functioning parts (except the plate scanner glass which broke). Is it possible to take a part out of the functioning printer and put it in the broken one to make it work?? These printers are very complicated to take apart, if you know of any tricks that'd make it easier I'd like to hear them as well!
I'd take it to a repair place but I'm living in a rural area of Brazil and I've had no good luck whatsoever with teh repair help I've tried ithe past, plus it WAY too expensive.
Any help you can provide would be most appreciated!
Thanks
Jodi

hi.
maybe the usb cable went completely, you can try to replace it with another, also Ive heard lexmark power supplies can go bad without notice, can you copy standalone with it? you should. if not then check power output with a multimeter. Is your new dell running on vista? you may have to download a driver specific for vista and lexmark from lexmark website NOT the XP driver the VISTA driver, I had to do that with mine. just a couple ideas. good luck
good luck

SOURCE: Print faxes in memory on a Lexmark X5470 All-in-One
I solved my problem by powering off, which I knew would lose the faxes in memory. However, I decided to have the faxes re-sent. As soon as I get time, I will address this issue with Lexmark. It seems incomprehensible to me that Lexmark does not provide instructions on how to do this.
Thank you for your interest. This simple question does not warrant a team to figure out--it is a manufacturer's responsibility.

If it's not put in just right it will stay on, this has happed to me before and I had to get two ink cartrides be for it worked.

Please follow the instructions given below:
1. Disconnect the USB cable and the printer power cable.
2. Please disconnect the power supply from the back of the printer.
3. Then remove the cartridges from the printer.
4. Please reconnect the power supply back and turn on the printer.
5. If lights are blinking then printer encoder strip is most likely the problem. Unplug the power from the printer. Open the front cover and move the cartridge carrier to the center. You should see a white ribbon cable, a thin plastic strip and a black belt with teeth.
6. The thin plastic strip is the encoder strip. It rides in a sensor on the back of the cartridge carrier that you will not be able to see. Reach in with the first finger of either hand and carefully strum the strip as if playing a guitar.
7. The strip will need to be lowered slightly and brought towards you slightly. Please be careful not to break the strip or your printer will not function. Once you believe the strip is set correctly, plug the power back and let us know if the lights are still blinking.
8. If you cannot repair the strip, please let us know so that we can assist you further.
Please Note: Fixing the encoder strip is a delicate procedure. During the troubleshooting, if the strip breaks, you will not be able to use the printer.
9. However, if lights are not blinking then try inserting one cartridge at a time and check if you can see any lights blinking. If light blinks with one cartridge then that cartridge is defective.
