PIXMA MX860 won't start after B200 error

[Xecrome]

Hey all,

I was trying to fix a different error with my Canon MX860 and ran a cleaning on it. I got a B200 error so I turned off the printer and attempted to restart it. Completely dead. Will not power on at all. I have tried almost all of the unplug click some combination of buttons or unplug and let it sit for awhile (I unplugged and left it alone for 3 days). I have tested the cord and power supply with a standard voltmeter and am getting power through them so I assume the problem isn't there... I was thinking of trying to connect my computer directly to the printer and powering it on from there, I assume if you just remove the scanner the bottom part should still function as a printer, so the power button is really just fancy decoration, not sure how to go about this though.

Any advice would be appreciated!
