I can not get the bin out of the shredder, i believe it is off track and completly full with shreds coming out. I want to know can I take it apart somehow and fix it myself (You know the screws on the bottom I unscrewed them and tied to open the sides gently but it does not seem to put the bin back in track)

Dont wont to do if shredder is under warranty. If not, you will usually see a sticker staying that if you remove this sticker you warranty is voided. There is a screw that holds the top on. If you take the sticker off your warrranty is voided so beware.

Beeps and stops; doesn't stop when empty

As for your first part - It sounds like there is something wrong with the switch lever that moves to complete the electrical circuit to start the shredder. On every shredder I have seen, there is a little "bellows" linked up to this lever that pushes it back so the machine will shut off. Most of the time all you have to do is put another piece of paper in and let that get shredded and the shredder will stop afterwards. If not, then just use the main switch to turn the shredder off.
Second, the beeping during "mid-shred" sounds like a warning that the shredder is starting to overheat and shut down. If this is the case, just wait a few minutes to allow it to cool down and try to finish the shredding you have. I have found that if you feed a shredder a constant stream of paper to shred, this might cause the shredder to overheat.
Also, the shredder may get overloaded with pieces of the shredded paper. Here is the way to check on that:
1. UNPLUG THE ELECTRICAL CORD FROM WHEREVER YOU HAVE IT PLUGGED IN.
2. Lift the shredder from the bin and turn it upside down.
3. Look for an excessive amount of paper in the bottom of the shredder. If there is a lot, you can remove it in several ways. (Most likely the bin is quite full at this point.) Pull the majority of it out and put it in the bin. If there are pieces of paper that you can pull out with your fingers, use a tool (needle-nose pliers, serrated tweezers, a hemostat, etc.) to get those difficult pieces out.

Replace the unit on the bin making sure that it is the same way you took it off. In most cases (on the better shredders), there is a notch on the underside of the shredder that needs to be on top of a "nub" that is on the edge of the inside top of the bin. Unless that nub is aligned with the slot, the shredder will not work.

Don't know how to open the basket

If the basket does not slide easily out of the shredder cabinet it maybe "jammed full" of shredded paper which is preventing the basket from sliding out. There is a clear concave "handle" on the front of the basket which users should reference to determine the fullness of the basket. I pulled out and pressed upward on the "handle" it easily popped in towards the basket. From there it was possible to remove enough of the shredded paper to allow the basket to slide out. WARNING: UNPLUG THE MACHINE AND REMOVE THE PUPPY FROM THE ROOM.

look for two LED lights where paper falls into bin and wipe them off, but the sensors could be faulty as well. I have seen both.

Shredder won't run

I had similar problem. I took unit apart and checked the motor by hotwiring it after checking voltage coming off the circuit board connections that the motor is connected to. Motor did not run until I tapped it a couple times with a hammer. Seems ok now.

The "bin full" keeps on coming on

first off, fellowes has had problems with the bin full sensors that sometimes, can only be corrected by replacing them. however, there are two things to check. make sure it doesn't have a bunch of shredded paper hanging down from the cutters. that can trigger the bin light as the sensore are located under the head, but above basket. last, but not least, clean the sensors. they get paper dust on them after awhile causing same indication. if those two things don't fix it, it will have to have sensors replaced.

good luck,
razors
