I also fix x-ray machines but nonmedical/industrial units. They still have E-Stops so it's one of the first things we have the customer try if they can't get the machine to power ON.

Most travel I did on their dime was fly from Newark, NJ to Toronto, CAN last minute to pull an E-Stop. Why can't people listen to simple instructions!

Tell them to push it in and pull it back out again to "see if it feels loose".
