In recent weeks the display on my Lexmark CS410dn has started
flashing a lot - that is, coming up plain lit then going out,
repeatedly, or going out and relighting with detail on it.

Is there a simple cause for this? Something I could check and
reseat? Or, is there some underlying cause I could check for with,
say, a multimeter?

The printer still performs all printing functions as expected, and
I cannot afford to replace it with anything at present anyway.


No idea. Does the flashing have a pattern, like a steady frequency?
If I would assume it was to tell your something. Consult the manual.


I don't know any thing at all about this printer but these types of
queries always peek my interest.
I put 'Lexmark CS410dn' into a google (did you?) and took an Lexmark
hit. In 'Driver & Downloads' it says there's a "Recommended Firmware
Update (August 2019)".
Have you applied that?


Just applied. Will see if it makes a difference but it's a strange one
if so.

Beyond that, wouldn't Lexmark Customer Support be worth a shot?


Maybe but their kind of answer usually recommends me spending money.
