Dell v525w suddenly won't boot.
I printed my syllabus for school this morning and right when I finished, had a message on the screen saying there was a Firmware error. It would not let me do anything, so I unplugged everything and left it for a few minutes before plugging it back in. Now it won't even fully boot up. The status indicator gets to the very end, as if it is about to start, but it won't get past that. It is not recognized by any of our computers or devices now. I have had no problems with it until this morning and have had no luck fixing it.

GrumpyBones,
Unplug the printer from the wall. Now remove the power brick for 60 seconds. This will reset any error messages the printer is getting.

No dice. I think I'm screwed at this point.

GrumpyBones,
Did you contact Dell Tech Support about the firmware error?

Yes, and they wanted to charge me $59 to even talk to me.

Luckily it worked for me. My boot up bar was getting to the end, the printer made startup noises and then just stopped there. Unplugging the power box seems to have been the fix as I tried unplugging it several times. Unplug the cord, remove the power box and wait for the entire 60 seconds or longer.
