Hello, I would like to ask assistance with a problem my brand new MG5650 printer is having. I managed to correctly print a test page after setting it up and then followed the instructions to turn it off. The next day I tried printing something and the orange alarm light turned on when I pressed the power button.
The power button also stays on, but the LCD display doesn't turn on and it doesn't show any error. The printer doesn't make any powering up sounds either.
I tried plugging it into all the different outlets in my house thinking that might be the problem to no avail.
At one point it did turn on and I managed to print that one document, but now it's doing it again and I can't find anybody else with this error.
I would aprieciate some help with it before returning it to the store.
Thank you.

None of the suggestions on here worked for me. So I found my own solution by trial and error
① Turn off printer
② turn on the printer with power button and WiFi button held down.
③ release all buttons at once.
Printer bursts into life.
Just to clarify my symptoms were:
No power light lit
Orange lamp lit not flashing.
No matter how many times I turned it on printer was dead.
Hope this fix works for you also

Thanks JosBly, your method was the only one that worked for me having tried several other suggested power on/off combinations.
