I hope you can revive it.

About three years ago, an older model HP printer was given to me and failed a couple of months thereafter. I did an internet search for info on the model and articles turned up identifying a known issue for which multiple independent techies had identified the same cause: an OEM capacitor that was marginally rated for the circuit it supported would eventually fail. The fix required partial disassembly, unsoldering the capacitor, ordering a properly rated one, soldering it in and reassembling the machine.

It was all stuff I could do; but, didn't have time to mess with. It would've cost more that it was worth to farm it out for repair. So, even though I had just bought and installed new ink cartridges, I tossed it out and got a new machine. C'est la vie.
