my wifes just broke yesterday, im going home today to take it apart. hers has the chord with a "test" and "reset" button on the plug. i'm going to start there. since hers doesnt turn on at all, i will open it and look for a blown fuse. i've never touched a straightener before so im no expert, but i assume there will be either a tube style fuse or a relay of some sort in there that is blown. if that is not the case i will have to take the iron itself apart but am prepared, at that point, to end up buying a new one. no offense to ladies, as i love that you spend so much time and money making yourselves look good, but i am so happy to be a guy. as long as the shower and sink are working i have all i need to look my best.
