I bought this new almost 2 years ago but have used it only occaisionally. It was working great. I turned it off one day, turned it on the next and NOTHING. Of course its plugged in but when I turn it on it may as well be unplugged. Any quick/easy fix ideas? Is it worth trying to get the compressor repaired? Thanks for the help!

Are there any circuit breakers/reset switches on that unit? I'd put it on the bench and look it over closely. -
Oh, I suppose it is also a problem w/ the pressure switch. If it "thinks" it is charged, it won't turn on.Comment

there is a reset button, which i've pressed a few times. still doesn't turn on.Comment

Not sue, but I don't think it uses the gauge. I think it has a sensor on the tank under the motor.
Perhaps you could get a parts list for the Makita from the Makita web site. Or call them and explain the symptoms and ask if the pressure switch could be shot. Maybe there would be a way to jumper it out to test it (with the tank drain valve open, of course).Comment

Is there by any chance a fuse somewhere that may have blown?Jon

Not sure if you still have the manual but here is a link to the online version. It has a number of suggestions in the troubleshooting section for "motor wont run."
Good luck.
