My Google search found a facebook video with s7701, but you might try to send a message to the vendor to request assistance. I also saw one for sale with a Japanese language manual which you would need to find a way to translate if you could obtain a copy from the vendor. https://store.beforward.jp/detail/Home-Electronics/Sewing-Machines/PA34724135/http://binan-city.philippineslisted.com/garden-house/portable-sewing-machine-janome-s7701_5405659.htmlhttps://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=551791868614146&id=327334377726564&comment_id=556705818122751&reply_comment_id=556738268119506&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQgVgeksE9w Your Needle Plate Screw Is Loose The little screw that holds your needle plate in place can come loose and cause a knocking noise as your machine vibrates while sewing. ... Check to make sure the screw is tight. This is a more common problem if you must remove your needle plate to get to your bobbin case. https://sewingsociety.com/why-is-my-sewing-machine-making-a-knocking-noise/

The TD init error indicates an initialization problem with the automatic thread tension motor. Either a wire connection between this motor and the control board is loose or damaged or the motor has failed. This is from the Janome Service document: http://www.janomeservicevideos.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Error-Codes.pdf . Since the MC6500 is a computer with a sewing machine, you may not want to repair this yourself. A sewing machine service technician is a better choice to look at the machine, if you do not have training with electrical repairs. I don't know if a Janome repair technician will have the thread tension motor for this sewing machine. However, none of the other sites for sewing machine parts that I checked have this part in stock. I wish that I had better news for you. Cindy Wells

Could be top thread tension is two low. Be sure stitch is centered between fabric layers. Increase tension if top thread is showing on wrong side.

Be sure stitch is in between the two fabrics when straight stitch. Adjust tension until stitch is between top and bottom fabric. Use different color top thread to make it easier to see. Once tension is correct sewing straight, switch to zigzag.

Remove hook race and bobbin. Clean area with vacuum.
Replace needle.
Try different thread and fabric.

Try reading the USB memory stick on a PC to verify it functions.

Try formatting a new or different known good memory stick using your sewing machine.
