Printer Problem

[Spacemom]

I have a Dell All-In-One 944. I can't get the power to stay on. The "power block" seems loose. I'll move it around and see a little flash on the power button, but it won't stay on.

Anyone have any tips or tricks?

Thanks!

(why oh why can't it just have a regular power cord?!?!)

1. well...

is it still under warranty?

If not,I'd bend the prongs ever so slightly with pliers to tighten it a little, but of course be careful not to break them.

2. 3 months out of warranty

Isn't that the way it always works? :rofl:

I've tried bending the little connectors, no luck in getting it to work. It's so frustrating because everything on it works, I just can't get power to the dang thing! :mad:

3. It might be worth buying a new power chord, or...

...perhaps taking needle nose pliers and clamping the sockets the pins go in so they are a bit tighter. (obviously unplug it first!)
