    I don't know - I think a power interruption - but I got it fixed with a suggestion from someone else. thanks.

    What happened before the light started flashing. Is there paper jammed?

This is in reference to another solution on this site--please search before posting as others have already solved this problem:

Per http://www.fixya.com/support/t2462964-all_3_error_lights_flashing_4_count_go


When all lights flash it's a service problem. You press and hold the go button and see what lights are on then.error light means main PCB failure, Toner light means fuser failure, drum light means laser failure. Toner and error light means main motor error, drum plus error light means its a fan failure.

I fixed the drum and error light but i still can't print

If printing via network and you have not set a static (meaning it doesn't change) ip setting for your printer, then your ip address may have changed. IF this is the case, http://mikebeach.org/2011/03/02/assigning-the-brother-hl-2170w-a-static-ip-address/
Also, have you updated your printer driver? Be sure to go to control panel, device manager, printer, and then uninstall before installing new driver. Also, uninstall/remove the printer.

My HL-2170W has a flashing drum light and won't print. I replaced the drum but still having the same problem. Now what?
To reset the drum message:

Open the front door

Press and hold down the white button for about 4 seconds.
Once all 4 LEDs are lit, release the button.

Close the front cover.
Make sure that the Drum LED is now off.

My Brother HL 2170W printer has red error light on. It was printing something over and over and I wanted to stop it so I pulled (oh, no!) the paper out and then I guess the red error light went on. I...
There is probably still part of the sheet in the fuser at the back of the machine. The fuser will need to be removed and checked for scraps of paper and/or damage to the temperature sensor and v likely a dislodged paper sensor arm.
