after cleaning printheads printer doesn't work and emits a beep

Concur.

# After flushing the printhead with water / isopropyl

1. also leaving ink cartridges with water / isopropyl in the printhead overnight, also with a paper towel under the printhead & above the cleaning station to absorb any water / isopropyl.
2. The next day I powered up, red ink light on & green power button either continuous or flashing, uncertain
3. Forgot the paper towel was under the printhead
4. forgot to screw the printhead down to the tray with the 3 screws
5. the printhead cartridge terminal block was also loose as I broke off the tabs that lock it down
6. the yellow cartridge was off & slightly above the terminal block
7. then after no response with the red ink light on / green power light
8. I powered off & powered up again to a no power condition with the beeping noise.

Tech:

# reviews indicate problem hypothesis “Waste Ink Tank Counter” or “WIC Reset”. I concur reason the Water / Isopropyl I drilled in to some Ink Cartridges & left overnight could have somehow tripped the “Waste Ink Tank Counter”.

1. I downloaded various “WIC Reset Utilities” & with the 1400 USB port plugged in & powered up beeping, none of the WIC Reset utilites would recognize a printer on the USB Port.
2. I confirmed the 1400 USB Port is not tripping the Windows 7 Device Manager with any hardware changes. This indicates that the Logicboard is not sending any communications to the Windows7 USB Port.
3. If the Logicboard will not power up the USB Port, then there is a Hardware failure / lockout.

Tech A.
