Hello. I have had a Form 3+ for almost 1 year and a half and today, when I tried to boot it, it started for about 2 seconds, I could hear the fan and the logo illuminate, but then it completely stopped after 2 seconds, dead. I tried multiple times to restart it and tried with another outlet, but nothing. Every time the same 2 seconds of life then completely dead.  
Thank you

Hi @QvellaQuebec,

Thank you for getting in touch. I would recommend taking a video showing the printer being powered on and sharing it with [our Support Team](https://support.formlabs.com/s/contact-support?language=en_US). It’s possible that there is an electrical issue internal to the printer, which may require a printer replacement.
