Typewriter Won't Turn On?

Not sure why but my Brother AX25 typewriter will not turn on. After plugging it in and turning on the power button, there is nothing at all. I haven't used it for quite a while but would like to get it going again so I can sell it. Any help would be appreciated.

First, be SURE the outlet you are plugging into is working. Check it by plugging in something else, like a lamp, to make sure the outlet is good. If it is a ground fault outlet, make sure it hasn't been tripped. If it has been, reset the switch. If the outlet is good, make sure the wire of the typewriter hasn't been severely crimped and broken the wires inside. Look it over for sharp bends, cuts, or obvious bare wire. Also look at the plug end to make sure the wires or metal plug blades haven't been damaged or pulled out of the plug itself.

If there IS damage to the plug or cord, you can either order a new cord, or have an electrician put a new plug or cord on it. It could also be that the power switch is bad. Also, make sure your typewriter doesn't have a fuse. That would be another thing for an electrician to check and replace for you. Good luck getting it fixed.

Your Brother's AX25 typewriter is a very intricate machine, and your problem could be simple or very complicated.
I would suggest that you do a lot of research/reading and maybe try some of the suggestions to see if it will help your machine.

I have some links that might help you remedy your problem, but it may be best if you contact some sites and explain your problem, and they will usually be able to help.

You may have a manual for your machine but, if not, this site does have a manual; cost: $9.99.
This is very reasonable as this manual is difficult to find.
A nice manual will help you make a better sale.
