Symptoms


Follow the steps to help resolve a no power issue on your Dell 2150cn/cdn Laser printer.




If you turn the Printer on and there is no sign of life, no display on the LCD Panel and no noise is heard from the Printer, such as fans spinning or a Motor noise it is likely that the Power Supply will need to be replaced in the Printer.

It is also possible that a component in (or added to the Printer) has caused a power short circuit to occur.

In order to diagnose the source of the No Power problem, please follow the steps below:
  1. Try another power cable from a working Printer or alternate source
  2. Try another power point to ensure the issue is not caused by the plug socket
  3. Remove all optional and consumable components by following the instructions in your System Guide/User Guide:
     
    • Paper Tray
    • PHD Unit
    • Fuser Unit
    • Toners
    • 250-sheet Option Tray
    • Optional Memory Module
    • Optional Wireless Adaptor


     
  4. With all components removed, reconnect the power and turn the Power Switch on
  5. If the Printer now Powers on, add the components back in one at a time and test to see when the Power issue recurs
