What This Error Means

This error indicates a problem with the printer's internal memory (RAM). The printer cannot process jobs or may fail to boot.

Common Causes
  • 1Faulty or improperly seated RAM module(s) on the printer's main PCA (Processor Control Assembly).
  • 2Degradation or failure of the main PCA itself, affecting its ability to manage or access RAM.
  • 3Corrupted firmware that incorrectly initializes or accesses the printer's internal memory.
  • 4Power supply unit (PSU) instability or failure leading to insufficient or fluctuating power delivery to the main PCA and RAM.
  • 5Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to the RAM or main PCA components.
Symptoms to Watch For
  • Printer fails to boot past the HP logo or initial startup sequence, displaying the error code.
  • Printer repeatedly reboots itself without completing startup.
  • Print jobs are sent but never start printing, and the printer displays the error code.
  • Control panel becomes unresponsive or displays garbled characters before showing the error.
  • Printer enters a 'Ready' state but immediately displays the error upon attempting any operation.
Basic Troubleshooting Steps
1. Turn off the printer and unplug it. 2. Wait 5 minutes, then plug it back in and restart. 3. If the error persists, service is required, potentially a Main PCA replacement.
