I have a new Cricut Personal Cutter, one of the originals that uses 6 x 12 paper. This is the first time using it. The power adaptor is on and the power light on the machine glows, but the LCD screen remains dark and the machine does nothing. I found steps to "unfreeze" a machine on the Cricut website, but it didn't work. I am so disappointed! It was a gift from my college son and I don't think he has the receipt. Any ideas? Thank you. Did I mention my disappointment?
Mine did that once but I unplugged everything and let it rest for about a minute and replugged it again. I have the original, first day they came out model and I cannot put the cartridge in but one way to make it work.
I am no help huh? But, I can keep this on the first page!

I post a lot over at the Cricut board so my information is good. If you call ProvoCraft they will help you. Your machine should not be doing that. Call during the morning so you can get in. The wait time can be horrendous but they are trying to improve. ProvoCraft are Mountain Time zone. They have really great customer service so if you get somebody who won't help you out then call back. I don't think that will happen. You can also go over to the MB and one of the girls or guys over there can help. We have been through all the Cricut messes. It sounds like you have a loose connection. Don't give up hope.
Martha....As the previous poster stated, call Provo. Assuming you have registered your machine and have proof of purchase. They'll send you out a new machine and you return the defective one in the box the replacement comes in. They pay return postage and you pay nothing for the replacement machine or postage. You do need to have patience to wait on the phone to get a Customer Service Rep. Be sure also to have the serial number handy for your machine. It's the bar code on the bottom of the unit.
If your machine is over 1 year old, then unfortunately, you are out of luck for a replacement.
Thank you DeeAnn and Patti. I called this morning and she told me about the return scenario. I'm hoping my son can find his receipt or credit statement. You know college kids.
New Cricut not working--need help!!
