One of its door switches will be in the open position,make sure all the machines doors are tight shut.If doors ok, then one of the switches will be probably out of its holder and left hanging inside the machine to allow it free play.

Where did you buy the machine (ebay) if so the payout hopper could just be unplugged.

If your very lucky it may just be the power supply and possibly fuses blown,On the flip side,Depending on what was plugged in and where, I would not be expecting the machines M.P.U.(Main Board) to be undamaged.
Another option to consider is that you may not have known the machine was shot when you bought it,sold to you in as is condition, and would only work on free play anyway.
At this point I suggest a trip back to cash converters with it and flog it back to them.
