Any resolution to this issue? I like stone234 have narrowed it down to the cricut not getting power past the power board. I tested the two prongs that feed the red and black power for the main board and no voltage. Cricut Exp 2. Powered on as soon as I plugged it in. Plugged in usb to computer, I didnt have the software so i searched for it then started downloading it and noticed the screen on the unit was frozen. unplugged it and after plugging it back in it wouldn't power back on.

My wifes' cricut seems to have had the same problem. Try turning off the power, then manually slide the cutting carriage to the left look inside to the right. you should see a red button pull on it until it clicks. power up the cricut and see it it works. it solved the problem for my wife.

Yes, I was just going to recommend contacting them. I see you have contacted them already. Good luck with getting it fixed~they are prompt in helping with machines. If you have any further questions about the cricut feel free to ask.

Souns to me like the cutting slide head is binding or the material transprt has a meesed up gear train. Or the case has been fractured
