Here's the deal.
- Picked up a new Laser Printer (Brother HL-2140 to be specific)
- Turned off and removed old Lexmark Laser Printer
- Turned on the new Brother printer
- Power to room goes out
I checked the breaker, no dice. Reset all the breakers in case it was mislabelled, no dice. Hit the main for the hell of it, no dice.
Here is what was plugged in and turned on that time of the issue:
Overhead Light
Desk Lamp
5.1 speakers
LCD Flat Screen 20"
Computer
USB Hub
Vonage Router
100/1000 switch
WAP
Cable Modem
Epson Printer
Epson Scanner
I have had tons more turned on in the room without problems, including a Laser printer and 2 more computers.
UPDATE
Done some more checking.
- House was built in 1968, can't find any GFCI outlets in the entire house
- Power is out to the entire room, overhead light
- Power is out to the overhead light in the closet next to the room
- Overhead light is out in the room next to it, but the rest of the outlets in that room seem fine.
Gonna start looking at the breaker and the outlets next.
Any other suggestions?
So wtf could it be? Wife is PISSED.
