Have you tried turning the power off then on?

Sorry...I just couldn't resist.

It sounds like you've tried everything. I really don't have anything constructive to add.

I would change the fuser connector block on the device cause it sounds like you've ruled everything else out mate

Hi there,

How about a backup of the NVRAM then do a reset?
Let it run.. and see..

You still have the luxury of restoring the NVRAM data

If you did all above and nothing worked then i think you have to check power supply

Yes, seriously. If you don't like the fact that you will receive suggestions for a fix that you may have already tried then don't fu#%ing ask for help. Cynical, smart ass comments will get you on the ignore list pretty quickly, and then the techs that CAN actually help you won't even see your posts. This is friggin free advice, after all, and you should be grateful people here are actually trying to help you.

And could result in you receiving RED cards. The more RED cards you have the less likely established techs are to provide things like manuals and software.
