EPSON ET-2760, suddenly no power after printhead deep clean.
I was having issues with my EPSON ET-2760 tank printer not printing most of the colors but primarily cyan, no problem clean the printhead put it back in still not doing it for the cyan. take the head back out do a deep cleaning soaked it overnight and then let it dry for three days. Put it back in and turn the printer back on, started a printhead clean and a minute later the entire thing was dead and wouldn't turn back on. Power supply is good so does this mean the main board died? Took the print head out still can't get it to turn on. It was briefly working doing a nozzle clean and I turned away and came back and it was like it got unplugged.
My head cleaning process is to do a nozzle check followed by a nozzle clean followed by a check. If that doesn't do it, take the head out and clean it with alcohol and cotton swabs. Step three is to check the ink is making it through the tubes and check that ink is getting into the cartridges then repeat step one. if still not working I try to put a little alcohol into the cartridges to flush through the print head to break anything up that might be on the opposite side. Then the final one if none of that works just take the whole head out and let it soak in a bath of warm water and dish soap then thoroughly dry reinsert and go back to step one.
