I'm afraid I don't know what a model 200 might be, and other than suggesting unplugging and plugging it in again, I don't have specific tips for you. I'm of the impression that most insurance allows replacement after five years, and since you've had yours for six years, if you have insurance, they may pay for a replacement.

Sorry to hear about your troubles with your machine.

STL Mark has a great machine for sale if you have no insurance.

6 years is most likely near it's useful life. I may not be worth spending to get it repaired. Get a new or almost new replacement.

Not only that, but machines have improved dramatically in the last six years. What you get to replace that machine will be vastly superior in every respect.
