Lexmark Printer repair E250dn
My Lexmark printer just went dead. It was kept on all the time about (5.5yrs).
Recently it was switched off for a week. Now its not possible to power it up again.
It just fails.On applying the power I can see the leds flash on the panel for about a second or two. The led lights just go off for good.
I checked the AC power chord its supplying 220V volts.
Thank you.

Where I could get a repair manual?
What could be the likely fault ?
Any other pointer to find a resolve would be appreciated.

@All,
Thanks for your inputs.
I got the manual and have stripped up the printer. The power units has the right power on
the various pins as described in the manual.
So the problem could be with the controller/system board. Need to test the system
board for voltages etc. Still unable to confirm the issue.
A check with local agent about the pricing of the power unit $127/-- A similar printer costs $220
with one year warranty by Lexmark.
Not too long ago I bought a heavy duty toner cartridge for the current printer for $180/- I reckon
75% of the toner is still there.
I was also advised by the agent that the E250DN has come to the end of life there are some printers
in their stock thou. So I wonder if buying the similar set is a good decision.
The replacement of E250Dn is E260DN and is costing $399 but I will not be able to use
the E250Dn toner with E260Dn.
Any inputs to help me decide if I should go for the latest printer or just get the older version.
All feedback will be appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks all for the inputs and time. Much appreciated.
After considering the valuable feedback I have decided to
get a new printer E250DN. It will have 3 years warranty.
Repair of old printer cost much more than a new printer!
I will check the electronics and keep you all posted what has really gone wrong.
Now looking forward for the delivery.
Will close the question once I get the delivery and make the necessary
comparison.
