Machine dead

[shoe2728]

Haven't used in awhile, probably 8 months been sitting in workshop. Went to use it and both sandpapers were split at the seam. Pulled out the sandpapers and thought I would see if machine would power up. Only get the symbols on screen, change with contrast button, but thats it. Question is are there switches on the traction rollers that may be open due to no sandpaper causing machine not to power up.
Thanks

Did you have the memory card inserted before you turned it on?

Had card in, contrast works and thats it. doesnt even try to read card. Card is good, I was able to upload to it.

If you have access to a second card I would test it just to make sure. I had the same indications and it was the card. It works great on the computer (still does) and I can read and write to it but when I put in my machine nada.

I do have another card, I will try tomorrow. If no card was installed wouldn't still do something.

No card, no program, nada, not even LCD.

DO NOT put your card in or take it out when the power is on.

Thanks for all the info, you guys are great. It was a bad card. Computer recognized the card, pull stuff off or format it.
