My shreadmaster 4550x will not turn on - no power

Mine does that when the paper bin is not in all the way or when the paper bin is too full.

Check the breaker, otherwise it may be a faulty unit.

Simple power hack, to do this, kind of like hot wiring your computer.

Turn the power on at the wall, Flick the switch on the back of the computer (if there is one on the back) to the on position, make sure the cable is plugged in, and turn the power off at the wall, hold the power switch on the front and turn the power on at the wall.

This will cause the power to jump across the switch, causing the computer so sound a bit like a motorbike being started.

The power will come on it will turn over click and go off. After this turn the switch of at the back of the computer, and turn it back on, and the computer will boot up.

The first bit of this is just charging the capacitors in the power supply, the second bit is turning your computer on.

Hi, well whenever an item is dropped it can cause real damage, with the fax in particular, whenever they are dropped, usually the crack out around the main power and drivers heatsinks, other places can happen too. Often there are cracks that are very difficult to find, and can take a long time, read $, to find and fix, if indeed it can be.
Also,or instead of, it may have dislodged some connections or plugs etc. One would have to open the unit up to inspect, however before opening up, if one want's to DIY, one would have to obtain a service and repair manual, for your exact make and model, this would show you how to get into it, what to do and where to look etc.
However in reality,it is most likely a problem that has to be attended to by a professional, you need to take the unit in for repair, when there, please ask first for a "Quote" this way you can get an idea of costings and can then make a decision as to repair or replace.
Often with a dropped unit, the damage is great, and uneconomic to fix,accordingly, some of my customers then prefer to put any monies that would have been spent on repairs, towards a NEW unit, with a warranty.
