Purchase Brother HL-6180DW in 2013, it’s been sitting idol, unplugged, over a year. Another older printer went out, so I wanted to replace it with this one. When plugged in, it did power up. But then had to download drivers on the computer to use it, so turned it off. Tried to turn back on, but will not power up again. Tried several outlets and even changed power cords. I think it may be a blown internal fuse. Any suggestions? If a fuse, where is it located to replace it and where can I get one?
Hi @aaaron, If you have an analogue or digital multimeter you can use either to test the capacitor but you have to remove it from the circuit board first, before testing it. Here’s is a link that shows how to do this.
cdtarp looks like there are three fuses on the “Low Voltage Power Supply”. That is the board where your printer plugs into the AC power. It is called the LVPS since it converts your AC voltage to ~24 V. I do not have the schematic for the power supply so we will rely on you posting some good images of the power supply with your question. For that use this guide. It will allow us to see what you see and hopefully assist you with troubleshooting your board.

I have developed the same problem on my HL-2380DW. Try unplugging the machine from the outlet for at least a minute and plugging it back in. If it turns on after plugging it back in I am thinking it could be a bad capacitor in the LVPS. Don’t have access to an o-scope so I am checking on finding a new power supply board. Using a multimeter probably won’t do much good without a schematic.
check c51 on lvps some times the glue on c51 delay of 100ms. generate error on delay
