I'm assuming you checked the connections and all of that, so the next thing I would do is check for a pinout on the power supply (the last Epson I had was an NX415, which I believe had it on the supply). Take note of that power supply pinout, and get a multimeter (even a basic Walamrt meter will work here).

Plug it into the printer just in case there's a signal wire. I don't believe this is a thing with Epson power supplies, but if it is, you will need to plug it into the motherboard OR jump it. It's easier to do it connected to the motherboard. If there's no immediate ground, you can use your household ground in a pinch, but please try to find an LV ground on the board or something else to avoid as many issues as possible. It will probably work, but I don't like using a household ground when it's avoidable (and it usually is). If the voltages are exact (or marginally higher) then the supply is rated for, you have a motherboard issue or something else is off like the control panel. You might get lucky and find it's the control panel wire, but very often a bad board.
