Hi @Klk9, Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
It sounds like your HP DeskJet Plus 4140 printer may have suffered power-related damage due to the storm. Here are some troubleshooting steps to try:
Check for Power Issues
- Unplug the printer from the wall and remove any surge protectors or power strips.
- Plug it directly into a working wall outlet.
- Try using a different power outlet.
Hard Reset
- Disconnect the power cable from the printer and the wall.
- Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds.
- Plug the power cable back in and turn the printer on.
Check for Internal Damage
If the printer does not respond:
- Try a different power adapter (if available) that matches the required voltage.
- Look for any burnt smell or visible damage inside the power port or cable.
Try a Firmware Reset (if applicable)
Some HP printers allow a reset by:
- Turning the printer off.
- Holding both the Power and Cancel (X) buttons while turning it on.
- Releasing them when the printer starts.
If none of the steps work, the storm may have caused electrical damage to the power supply board or mainboard.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
