The plug is ok. Power supply? One suggestion was to unplug it for 5 mins and then plug it back in with the on button held down. That didn’t work. Other ideas or how to replace power supply problems.
I’ve done a lot of electronics repair and my Brother MFC-9320CW was exhibiting the classic symptoms of a dead power supply — no lights (not even a carrier light for the Ethernet jack), no buzz, nada. This machine has a traditional rocker power switch, not a software controlled “soft switch”. So, I read several other “my printer won’t start” answers and pretty much dismissed all of them. Someone suggested to unplug, turn on the power switch (with the power disconnected), wait a minute, then connect power and turn on as normal. I told myself “that can’t possibly work,” but I’m here to say that it did. The only explanation I can fathom is that the power supply control circuits must have some logic that was reset by draining the supply of whatever residual charge it had. Live and learn!
Is the outlet working? Plug something simple, like a lamp, into the socket. If that isn’t the problem, then check the cable. Do you typically crease your cables or otherwise bend them very sharply? This will break your cables.
My MFC-7365 came home it was dead tried plugging unplugging has a rocker switch I guess an older style still dead seem to be working good right up till then
