How to open shredder when screews are removed
Looking at the label on the bottom, peel off the left side of the label about one inch and you will find a hidden Philips screw just like the other 6 on the bottom and the parts separate easily.
My quartet projection screen will not go back up.
The problem is most likely a damaged spring end cap. As you face the screen from the front, this is the cap that covers the right end of the cylinder that encloses the screen material. The cap is held in place by 3 Phillips head screws. If you remove the spring end cap, you will see a slot in it that is designed to hold the spring assembly stationary as you pull down on the screen. If this slot is damaged, then the internal spring inside the roller will lose tension. The fix is to pull out the screen & roller assembly, roll it back up manually, then replace the spring end cap with a new one. (I believe the part # from Quartet Apollo is K0329). The cap at the other end has a cup receiver designed to accept the pin end that is on the left side of the cylinder that houses the screen material. The tricky part is fitting the pin end back into the pin end end cap. It is easier with 2 people. If you fashion a short hook out of a coat hanger. you can use it to lift the pin end into the pin end cap. There are part #'s and exploded diagrams on the Pegasus part sales website: http://shopping.netsuite.com/s.nl?c=440001. The site is down now for maintenence, but it should be back up soon. HTH
One of the clips which hold door close broke. thus, machine won't operate.
Does the door fully closing operate a safety switch? If so you might be able to get round this by clamping the door shut with(eg)a belt. Not the most elegant of solutions but it might work. I searched online and got a number of hits, one of which said that spares are not available. Not very encouraging! Try contacting manufacturer directly.
I have a GBC Shredmaster 2260X. The light on top
most GBX shredders have a magnetic "reed" type switch inside the shredder head that is actuated by a magnet on your door. have you recently lost the magnetic catch on your door? if you have lost it and have access to a strong magnet, you should be able to open door and move magnet around on front side of shredder head and see the light go out. if magnetic catch is on door, then perhaps your door is misaligned in such a way as to not energize the switch.
good luck,

It is very noisy
if it is noisy, you have to open the shredder and check the gears if still ok.
if they are worn up they will make the noise
