Hi
I was google'ing trying to find information about paper shredders and fixes for their problems. Your forum was the only site that even came close to an answer.
So I joined and this is my first post. I have a 9 yr old royal 12x crosscut shredder. It suddenly stopped working after emptying the basket yesterday. Pryor to that it has worked as advertised for all its life.
It has a switch on the top with 3 positions reverse/off/auto. In the auto mode it will display a green light and wait for paper to be placed in the chute. Now it still reverses, but in auto no green light and no switch on when paper is placed in the chute. I have torn it down so I am looking at the circuit board and wiring under the top. Nothing sticks out as being the problem. I have disconnected the switch from the circuit board and checked for conductivity in both switch settings which showed the switch is working.
Thanks for your time
Jim
