brother printer lcd display not working for sale

Verify the power cord is connected to the back of the machine and the AC power outlet. If the power cord is connected to a surge protector or power switch, remove the cord from the device and connect it directly to the outlet. This is for testing purposes. Removing the device assists in determining if the issue is related to the device or the Brother machine.

Verify the machine is powered ON. The Brother machine has an ON/OFF button located on control panel of the machine. If machine is OFF, the display will be blank.

If the display is still blank, try to tilt or move up or down the LCD display and also try a different known working electrical outlet at your location.

4. When the screen is blank but power LED light is on, this is a sign the firmware has been corrupted. This can happen if power or network connection is interrupted before the end of the firmware update. The firmware can be recovered provided the printer is connected to a computer via printer USB cable and the computer shows the printer is connected.

- If the display doesn"t respond but you can hear your machine functioning, your machine will require service. Your machine has a one-year limited exchange warranty. You may use the link below to find a Brother-authorized service center in your area. You may also contact Customer Support for additional warranty options.

My LCD screen is shown blank without any single word display on the screen, it still can print if the printer network can be set to proper wifi id. But, in this case the LCD screen is blank and showing nothing, so i can not set to any wifi id at all.

1. The Brother machine has an ON/OFF button located on the top left side of the machine above the button labeled WiFi. Verify the machine is powered ON.

NOTE: Due to the design of the control panel display, looking at display from certain angles can cause the display to appear blank or light. Stand where you can look at the machine display at a 45 degree angle.

5. If you are having difficulty reading the information displayed on the LCD or it"s too light, try changing the contrast setting. Adjusting the contrast will give the LCD a sharper and more vivid appearance.

2. When the machine powers back on, test by touchscreen by pressing different options displayed on the touchscreen or repeating the procedure you were performing when you noticed the issue.

Depending on the severity of the issue, you may not be able to calibrate the LCD. If you cannot perform STEPS 3 through 7 due to the panel not working, please contactour technical support through Live Chat or Ask a Question at the top of the page.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Some of the LED"S on the Touch panel may turn off when you press the HOME key. This is normal. Continue to hold down the key until the display changes to show the Serial #, ROM Version and Pages printed (see image below).

8. Use your selected tool (plastic or wooden only) and carefully press lightly on the white dot next to number 1 (upper left corner). Do not press hard and make sure you only press the dot.

-If the LCD displayed the message "ERROR", the screen will automatically return to display the 5 numbered dots. Go back to "OK" is displayed on the LCD.

- If "ERROR" continues to be displayed after several failed attempts, please contact Brother Customer Service through Live Chat or Ask a Question at the top of the page.

10. Test the touchscreen. You can try pressing different options displayed on the touchscreen or repeating the procedure you were performing when you noticed the issue. If the problem continues, please contact Brother Customer Service through Live Chat or Ask a Question at the top of the page.

Brother produces a wide variety of printers. Read this introduction carefully to determine which steps are right for your printer. This guide offers four different categories of Brother printers: button-only, multi-button one and two, and digital control panels.

Categories two and three have similar multi-button displays. However, some of the older models require extra steps. If you know what model you have, you can go straight to the appropriate category. If not, try both to see which steps works best for your device. Try categories two or three if your display looks something like this:

The fourth category is for models with touch-screen or digital displays. Use the steps in the fourth category if your display looks something like this:

Before continuing, unplug any wire cables that connect your printer to the network. The factory reset will not complete if your device is connected to the network. Not all Brother printers will have wire connections to the network.

Locate the chip. It’s a tiny green circuit board about the quarter of the size of a postage stamp. They are often located on the front or bottom of your printer cartridge.

Press the tiny reset button located beside the chip and hold for 10 seconds. Depending on the brand and model of the cartridge, you may not need to hold the button for 10 seconds, but it won’t harm the cartridge so do it anyway just to be safe.

Clearing the memory can give you a more accurate idea of your printer’s ink levels, the number of pages still available to print, and other valuable printing information.

Don’t make the same mistake with your printer’s ink levels. (If you stain your hands or clothes while refilling, turn that frown upside down! Here’s how to clean up!)

Some of the battery-powered models may not have enough voltage to fully reset your cartridge, whereas you’ll never have to worry about a power supply if you have a USB-powered resetter.

Shake your cartridge. The first thing you should try with an HP LaserJet cartridge that’s supposedly empty. This old-school trick will free up the toner particles that are stuck to the inside walls and nooks. After you mount it back to your printer, it may register it as full. You may need to deactivate the ink-saving mode for the printer to detect toner levels properly.

Install an HP chip to a replacement cartridge. This requires some fine motor skills and good tools. You’ll also possibly need to turn off toner level monitoring on the printer.

Get an aftermarket chip for a refilled cartridge. The majority of modern HP toner cartridges are equipped with a small chip that communicates toner levels to the printer.

Canon printers have thermal printheads. The ink actually cools the print heads down, and if you run empty cartridges the print heads can overheat and get damaged.

So, if you replace and remove the four Canon cartridges, and, on the fifth attempt, install a newly refilled cartridge, the printer should accept the cartridge, and ink levels should read as full.

Another warning will pop up on the printer’s screen detailing that you are using refilled or third-party cartridges and may void the printer’s warranty.

miss spooky, Welcome to the CH forums. Well you now face one of those life"s momentous decisions we all from time to time face.Because it was free the price can"t be beat. But it doesn"t work. So what to do? Could cost money and still may not work properly.It was in the "boot" for a reason (which it appears you have now determined). It may be possible to gain some use from it even without the LCD display. Is this one of those multi function units or is it just a printer? I do have a Brother it is an MFC multi function unit. If it is just a printer and you have the printer software you can go ahead and install the software and if it takes it and you can then turn the unit on you should get access to the printer via the task bar and go to print jobs from there. You should also be able to monitor ink levels and other fault information from the print window as well. I believe that you can use the unit without the LCD window if you are prepared to take a bit of time to learn what it does when you do certain things.Yes you could probably replace the LCD display but i suspect the cost of the LCD would be more than the cost of the printer. If you want to gain repair experience then you could go that route. However that may not be all that is wrong with it. I would try and use it just as it is if you can. goodluck,truenorth
