Consumer grade printers aren't exactly easy to service, and they are generally more expensive to repair then the cost of replacing the whole printer. While you can probably find the repair parts, they tend to be expensive. The cost of OEM drums leads to people dumping these printers over consumables, so my advice is to get one of these printers and reuse your current drum and toner (reset the drum counter if you need to, but see my warning in the caveats listed). Depending on the life of the toner the printer came with, you may even have extra toner on hand. The drum may still be usable as well, but many of these printers are so close to 0% remaining it isn't worth trying to salvage this. It's your call what you do with the drum it came with depending on the remaining percentage.
However, this does come with a few major caveats:
* The drum life reported will not be accurate on the "new" printer since you are installing a used drum and it isn't brand new. Don't rely on the counter; if the image quality is bad it's time to purchase a new drum and reset the counter. The drum life counter will become accurate once you reset the drum life to 100% and install a brand new drum. If you can run on 0%, I'd suggest letting it stay that way until you buy a drum that's new in the box.
-
* The fuser life (if considered a consumable) will no longer be accurate. Again, rely on the output and replace it with brand new parts to restore accuracy.
+
* The fuser life (if considered a consumable) will no longer be accurate if you move your old one over (but will remain accurate if you don't change it). Again, rely on the output and replace it with brand new parts to restore accuracy.
* Do NOT move the formatter board. The page count, other corresponding data and serial number will not match.
If you do choose to repair the printer, you will need to see if it's a bad power supply or HV PCB, as these are likely to be the problem. More then likely it's a power supply fault, but you should also inspect the High Voltage PCB just to be sure. If it's a fault that is obvious, then it may be worth attempting the repair. If it's difficult or expensive I'd just recommend getting one of the many printers with consumed drums and then moving your drum and toner set to the newly acquired printer. You can get any printer that uses the same drum or another HL-2170. Of course, the old printer should be recycled or given to someone who can make use of the remaining parts. You can find the [http://kaservis.com/manuales/tecnicos/brother/impresoras/HL-2140%20Service%20Manual-manual%20servicio.pdf|service manual] here.
If you don't have a need to maintain compatibility with your old drum and toner find a printer that meets your needs that is on sale. Since the odds of the old toner and drum being compatible are low, I wouldn't look for this specifically.

If this doesn't sound viable, look for a model that works fine that just needs an imaging drum or toner. Transplant the formatter board and use your old toner and imaging drum, along with the plates that have your serial number. You can usually find these on Craigslist all day for free and or cheap. Once you find a printer that works, eWaste the old one or use it for parts. How you would do this is if you have a recent model just buy a new one and keep the drum and toner around as a backup drum unit. If it's older, get a used model and move the formatter board.
-
If you don't need to use this model again, get a newer one and consider this one dead.
-
Most people dump these because of imaging drum failures. They're usually $100+ and they got the printer for half off on sale, so it doesn't make sense. They usually cost more then the value of the printer, so they throw it away. You can get a very cheap replacement if you take advantage of this situation in the used market. They're usually free or very cheap.

-
If you're good with electronics, I would just repair this power supply. I know not everyone can take this route, but if you can it's probably the best way. Printer parts are very hard to find. Sometimes it's nothing more then a fuse or something like a X or Y capacitor failing. Other times, it's much worse. You will have to see. You'll also need a good multimeter. With something like a power supply, a good meter like a Fluke is required. Cheap ones will probably blow up on you, if something fatal happens.

I have found your [http://kaservis.com/manuales/tecnicos/brother/impresoras/HL-2140%20Service%20Manual-manual%20servicio.pdf|service manual] for the printer. Follow this to get to the power supply as Brother mentions it or take shortcuts as you see them.
-
-
You're going to want to look at the High Voltage PCB too. Check both of these in the printer. All a Laser printer really has for major parts is a High Voltage PCB, fuser, power supply, laser and drum unit. There are also DC motors for the mechanisms in the printer. You may find AC motors in larger ones, but this one is probably DC only. HL-2140/50 parts should interchange somewhat easily.

-
Brother is known for semi interchangeable parts. You won't have a 100% success rate, but sometimes it works out. You need to research the part numbers to verify the interchangeability.
-
-
If you can't repair this or you don't feel comfortable, I would just get a used low page count model on Craigslist that takes your toner and do what you wish with this one. Finding a parts printer would be easy, but parts units tend to cost about as much as a used one taking the same toner on sale. If you have a current model, a new one will go for more then a used one that has a worn drum but it probably won't cost much more beyond this.

The big reason for disposal of Brother printers is worn out drum units. They cost as much as a used printer, so they trash the printer. This is why I'm suggesting a used model for parts or moving the drum. Moving the drum will affect your OPC count accuracy. This is the only issue, and as such you need to move the formatter board. Sometimes donor models are even free.
+
If this doesn't sound viable, look for a model that works fine that just needs an imaging drum or toner. Transplant the formatter board and use your old toner and imaging drum, along with the plates that have your serial number. You can usually find these on Craigslist all day for free and or cheap. Once you find a printer that works, eWaste the old one or use it for parts. How you would do this is if you have a recent model just buy a new one and keep the drum and toner around as a backup drum unit. If it's older, get a used model and move the formatter board.
+
If you don't need to use this model again, get a newer one and consider this one dead.
+
Most people dump these because of imaging drum failures. They're usually $100+ and they got the printer for half off on sale, so it doesn't make sense. They usually cost more then the value of the printer, so they throw it away. You can get a very cheap replacement if you take advantage of this situation in the used market. They're usually free or very cheap.
Consumer grade printers aren't exactly the most service friendly, or the easiest to buy parts for. You can in theory, but it was never really intended. They intend these personal Laser printers to be used and tossed. However, you can service them.

If you're good with electronics, I would just repair this power supply. I know not everyone can take this route, but if you can it's probably the best way. Printer parts are very hard to find. Sometimes it's nothing more then a fuse or something like a X or Y capacitor failing. Other times, it's much worse. You will have to see. You'll also need a good multimeter. When I say good multimeter, I mean it. Not a cheap meter. Something like a Fluke meter. You don't want to be poking around this with a cheap meter.

With something like a power supply, a good meter like a Fluke is required. Cheap ones will probably blow up on you, if something fatal happens.
I have found your [http://kaservis.com/manuales/tecnicos/brother/impresoras/HL-2140%20Service%20Manual-manual%20servicio.pdf|service manual] for the printer. Follow this to get to the power supply as Brother mentions it or take shortcuts as you see them.
You're going to want to look at the High Voltage PCB too. Check both of these in the printer. All a Laser printer really has for major parts is a High Voltage PCB, fuser, power supply, laser and drum unit. There are also DC motors for the mechanisms in the printer. You may find AC motors in larger ones, but this one is probably DC only. HL-2140/50 parts should interchange somewhat easily.
Brother is known for semi interchangeable parts. You won't have a 100% success rate, but sometimes it works out. You need to research the part numbers to verify the interchangeability.

You will have a tough time servicing it, but it's doable so make sure you have time as far as i can tell from looking at the service manual(i have been in more expensive brothers too so I kinda have a idea what to expect and I did a HL-2140, so i know it's tough)

remove the high voltage power PCB and main power supply and check for damage on both
-
-
If you choose to replace the unit or parts, go on eBay or Craigslist(basically the classified ads) and find a printer like yours that needs a drum, it costs over 100.00 for these and since a new printer is cheaper, people buy a new printer when the drum is at the end of it's life, so you can pull a good power supply from that unit, and most of them like this are usually free(you can get away with a HL-2170, HL-2170D, HL-2070N, HL-2170DN because yours just has wireless hardware), plus you get other parts with plenty of miles left on them
-
-
If you recap, it will probably have lead free solder because this is newer, your soldering iron needs to have good heat transfer and get over 400-500 degrees to melt the solder

If anyone wants to know why i fixed the HL-2140, my friend could not afford a new printer so I used my HL-2140 that needed a drum for parts to fix his, I gave him the rest in case, it needed a 150.00 drum so it would sit here incomplete with parts in the end, i got it on sale for 60.00 at the time so i didn't replace the drum for the previously mentioned reason; I think it was 150 for a drum and Brother had my money for the toner, so I just cannibalized it for a known good power supply

If anyone wants to know why i fixed the HL-2140, my friend could not afford a new printer so I used my HL-2140 that needed a drum for parts to fix his, %#@$ I gave him the rest in case, it needed a 150.00 drum so it would sit here incomplete with parts in the end, i got it on sale for 60.00 at the time so i said NO to replacing the drum

You will have a tough time servicing it, but it's doable so make sure you have time as far as i can tell from looking at the service manual(i have been in more expensive brothers too so I kinda have a idea what to expect and I did a HL-2140, so i know it's tough)
find a service manual and when you are at the power supply, you can replace or recap, but it's a fuse sometimes
here is your service manual(see this [http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=6&ved=0CFcQFjAF&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.depottechsupport.com%2Findex.php%3F%2FKnowledgebase%2FArticle%2FGetAttachment%2F1018%2F88842&ei=Mz00T6sexrfRAd-9nKMC&usg=AFQjCNFbhxlLicpdIddU3Up7lh9tpuLOLw&sig2=plrzZzcFSdJPc81LgaVrhQ|link])
remove the high voltage power PCB and main power supply and check for damage on both

If you choose to replace the unit or parts, go on eBay or Craigslist(basically the classified ads) and find a printer like yours that needs a drum, it costs over 100.00 and people buy a new printer when the drum is at the end of it's life, so you can pull a good power supply from that unit, and most of them like this are usually free(you can get away with a HL-2170, HL-2170D, HL-2070N, HL-2170DN because yours just has wireless hardware)

If you choose to replace the unit or parts, go on eBay or Craigslist(basically the classified ads) and find a printer like yours that needs a drum, it costs over 100.00 for these and since a new printer is cheaper, people buy a new printer when the drum is at the end of it's life, so you can pull a good power supply from that unit, and most of them like this are usually free(you can get away with a HL-2170, HL-2170D, HL-2070N, HL-2170DN because yours just has wireless hardware), plus you get other parts with plenty of miles left on them
