Why won't my laminator turn on?

I had this happen where I worked and I elected to fix it. You have to remove the screws in the base, and IIRC the ends. Then I used a knife to cut the laminate pouch and pull out the pieces with pliers. If you can turn it on without damaging the machine or zapping yourself, the heat will help. My boss ordered a replacement which turned up a few days later :>D

Hi, I have a one that the PCB board is gone, the motor and shredder is perfect. You can buy the top with the motor frame from me if you like. It works sometime in reverse, but the safety light does not come on. Alternative sell me your PCB card

open it up and check the electric wiring still intact, or loose
m.p

Plz try the "Jam free" lever located on the top LEFT of the laminator. You ca try to feed another film in....hoping it will force the pouch out. Otherwise, you will have to take the cover off and unroll the pouch from the inside rollers. Good luck!

Unfortunately, this message was posted in the section for paper shredders. If you still need an answer you will need to repost it.

This is the second laminator of the same model that is beeping and not turning on. What do we need to do to get this machine operational?

once you take it apart it voids all warrants if you have any.
if you do not have any warrant parts than that the only way you are going to fix the issue.
here is what some one gave me some tips on disassembly of equipment. draw a picture of the device, mark the area of screw layouts, after separating the 2 parts draw diagram of each part, make foot notes on what you did, screw locations, parts removed, parts cleaned, PUT EVERYTHING IN A LINE IN THE ORDER OF REMOVAL PARTS, than work backwards and put everything back the way you took it apart, you should not have any extra parts and it should work fine. than if it every happens again you have your notes and information on hand to help you. you could try this site.

We have an old Fellowes laminator which won't heat up. It shows the red light on permanently. What do you recommend?
thank Tracey

if no blower ,i would check this first

OOOOooooooooohhh!!!!!
Hate to tell you, BUT, the laminate is melted on the fuser. You learned the hard way, htere are specific laminates for different types of machines, the reason is because of the amount of heat it can tolerate. If you look in the back of the box it will tell you what machines they are good for, if yours is not listed, you should look at the manual or the website.

You will have to take it apart and remove the melted plastic, with hopefully minimal damage to your machine, otherwise the fuser will need to be replaced.
