Thanks for letting us know what Canon product you've got. The PIXMA MX870 is an older model which we have retired. While that means that Canon USA no longer offers direct support for it, your friends here in the Canon Community are welcome to offer suggestions!

You can also speak with a Canon Upgrade Program specialist to help you score a modern replacement that would meet your current needs at a discount. You can reach them weekdays and Saturdays at 1-866-443-8002.

Hope this helps!

Greetings,

The printer does not have a "safety fuse" or circuit breaker.  Assuming power has been verified, if the device won't power on, the power supply, mainboard or power button itself has failed.  The MX870 just turned 6 yrs old.  If you live near a business that performs printer repair, that is an option.  If not, shipping and repair will likely exceed the cost to replace it.
