lcd display starts with full image as normal with the long "beeb", then it quits. no response from any control button...turn off...then on and the cycle repeats. There is nothing burnt and no smell or smoke.

Cleaned it as suggested and still the same symptom. It was the On/off switch that was bad..The power was getting to the unit as shown with the start up screen..

The switch was just not turning it on..I took a start up switch to an old PC and drilled a hole on the top of the grey cover and fed it to the 2 terminals soldered on the the electronic board where the on/ off switch is..So now I use the new button to turn the unit on and off..
It is only functional and the button is on top to be able to turn it on..It worked and I don't need to buy another one..!!

Open up the shredder, removing the silver and black covers, and clean it all out. Take the clear plastic cover off of the back of the screen and clean that out too. Clean the screen circuit board with some electrical component cleaner and leave it to dry. Once it's dry test it out.
