PIXMA MX860 Power-on without a print head

[skipper0802]

Greetings All,
Keeping this post simple, a yes/no answer will suffice: will the absence of the print head prevent the printer from turning on/powering up? In other words, if I did not place the print head back in position, would this omission prevent the printer from turning on when the "on" button is pushed? (Context: I'm attempting to isolate the seemingly "dead" response by the printer. Initially, I thought the power adapter went bad, but, after testing the adapter's output, it appears to be producing voltage.

Thanks in advance,
Eric
