Brother MFC dead after power cycle?

Mine is several years old, but also on the original cartridge, though it's down to claiming ~300 pages to go.

Some years back you may recall I had a problem with Dell. The PC I had them ship directly to my father wouldn't boot up.

After much run-a-round with "English-speaking next available agents" I did some snooping, determined the VP of "support's" direct street address, sent him a FedEx Letter.

Said some of my usual "kind words" ;-)

Next day they sent a technician to Huntington, WV, to my father's house to fix it.

And this will really get you... it wouldn't boot because the hard-drive they stuck in it, and obviously didn't test, had Win95 as the OS :-(

I'll watch or it ;-)

has one buried inside,

*really* wants to get at it.

get confused. For this

the current &^@%$!!

It is a real one on the PSU case, and i open the PSU to see to it that it is real. The TV and the Stereo both have standby switches (IR remotes).

Ah, some (most?) PSUs don't even have that. Do you actually use it?

Damned little has real power switches anymore.

Just want to report that it repaired itself, after lots of power cycling that I had to do to move probes around. Weird, really weird. Now if I knew where the uC reset is I could probably fix it for good. But all it says on the uC is "Concordia LJ9899001", no logo, totally unknown brand. Shows up on some Asian sites but without any useful information.

It is a selection criteria. Yes, to take a unit fully out of service for whatever reason, usually HW upgrades.

Yup.

Come to think of it, hmm, it began to work just after the budget was passed. A tax increase :-(

But it's dark gray, not blue.
