This typewriter is quite old but is in great condition. The problem I am having is that the power will not go on at all. Prior to not going on at all it happened intermittently but now won't go on at all. Someone said it may be the contacts. Is this impossible to fix for a non-mechanical type person? I wouldn't even know how to find the contacts. Would it be very expensive to have fixed or should I just consider this typewriter is gone??? Thanks for any help or suggestions.
The cord, plug or switch are the most likely.

you have a gremlin in your typwritter?? No you may though have a few stuck buttons as I used to fix these word processors all the time and that was very common. If thats not the problem then its in the controller assy PCB and its expensive as every board on this unit is only replaceable as an assy. IF its available!! you could call the main support # in your owners manual and see what they tell ya or call here. 800-276-7746 Good Luck!

It can only use the brother dry lift-off # 3015, I think, shining side faces you.

HI.. the hammer solenoid may be faulty..it should make a typing sound when you hit a key.( the printhammer moved and strikes the printwheel) or when you changed ribbons you might have unlatched the printwheel..there is a lever you press to relatch it until it "clicks"
If not that then make sure the ribbon is seated correctly, that it is between the printwheel and the black roller.Also visually inspect the ribbon so it is not caught in the printwheel.

Try hitting [CODE] + [RESET] at the same time to reset the cartridge. Make sure the cassette is installed correctly.. the "ear" on the cassette should always be on the upper right.
