I’ve got the 270WI and I remember seeing a safety switch that the hopper presses on when attached. This prevents someone from accidentally activating the grinder with the hopper off (and losing a finger).
I would check the prong parts of the hopper that go into the grinder and connect with the safety switch, in case the plastic has chipped off or similar. Also check the orientation of the hopper in case that makes a difference.
Failing that it could be the safety switch has an issue, which I don’t have any suggestion for apart from it needing to be replaced. Send Baratza an email but don’t hold your breath as I’ve found their support to be less than stellar.

sette 270 only grinding when hopper pressed down
Hi all,
Suddenly today the grinder have stopped working and after a while i figured out that once i press down the hopper it does turn on.
the hopper is fitted perfectly on the base and it's not even scratched.
would would one go about trying to get it to work "hands free" ?
thanks,
