How do I remove the top cover so that I can get to the paper bail from brother ax-10 typewriter?

The paper bail is broken on the right side. I can repair it if I could get the top cover off of the machine so that I could get to the right side arm.

If I remember right you almost have to break it to get it off it does have two or four screws hat have to be removed. Then you must pry the cover there are plastic tabs holding the cover on. Good luck I have not worked on one of these in years. If I have the typewriter in front of me I’m sure I could do it in no time but I do not.

SOURCE: i bought a --brother AX-400 electronic typewriter

Move the carrier to the desired position for the new left or right margin using "backspace" or "space"

To move beyond the position of a current margin, first position the carrier on the margin and press "alt +m rel"

When the carrier is on the desired position, press "alt + l mar" (if you are setting the left margin), or "alt + r mar" (if you are setting the right margin.)
The minimim distance between the left and right margins is two inches

Small projection under lid has bent or broken. Wedge something in the hole to operate micro-switch. If not effective the maybe micro-switch has moved or is faulty. Short out the wires to micro-switch in that case.

Brothers ax

Turn off the typewriter, open the top-cover and inspect the area around the carrier for any damage or foreign objects.
2. Move the carrier towards the center of the machine.
a. When moving the carrier manually, it should be difficult to move, butit will move under steady pressure.
b. If the carrier moves freely, the drive mechanism may not be connectedproperly.
3. Remove the ribbon and inspect the cartridge for damage. Turn the colored knob on the left side of the cartridge to remove any slack from the ribbon.
4. Check the correction tape to insure that it has not become tangled ordamaged.
5. Close the top-cover and restore power to the machine.
If the problem persists, your machine may require service.

Have a Brother AX-250 typewriter that will not print any suggestions? Thanks!

Does it power up? Does it go thru its initialization routine?

If it doesn't power up, it could be a blown fuse. It is located on th circuit board undrneath the top cover of the machine. This requirs removing I think 4 to 6 screws, on th bottom of the machine. UNPLUG THE MACHINE frm the wakll outlet.Check for 0 ohms with an ohm meter. If not 0 replace fuse. size and amperage is stamped in the silver ends.

If it powers up, but doesn't do its initialization, there is a plastic arm, on the left (ithink), or right side of the typewriter that goes into a slot to engage a switch. It could be bent or broken. If bent, GENTLY straighten it and see that it is lined up with slot. f it is broken, you can fabricate an arm with a piece of hard plastic and super glue it to th stub of where the arm used to be. Or, you can fold up a small piece if typing paper and stick it in the slot, carefully, and the machine will do it's "dance". Then youshould be able to use typewriter.

If these 2 solutions are not useful, you may need to find a service company to resolve problem.

The power keeps shutting down. when you jiggle the switch, it comes back on and when youhold the switch, it will usually stay on. I thing it needs a new switch but I do not know how to open the casing to...

The switch is mounted on a circuit board and has come unsoldered or has broken solder pad. to removed the cover: 1. Remove two screws behind the paper slot. Locate the two small slots on either side of the case(about halfway, front-t0-back, and top-to bottom), insert a small screwdriver and release the latches that hold the top to the bottom cover. With a larger screwdriver, release the front cover latches by inserting the screwdriver between the spacebar and top cover and pull towards the front and up. Tilt the top cover up from the front to back to remove. Remove the 2 screws that secure the power supply unit and lift from center-to left and then manke necessary repairs to the switch. run jumpers if necessary. Assemble in reverse order> Good Luck

Brother ax-12 cable detached

The pulley is broken and you have to remove it and try to drill a hole to attach the cord. A new pulley should be available from Brother. I have seen repairmen jam a small piece of metal inside the cracked area, but it is a little bit tough if you have no experience. You have to remove the covers and the main logic board and the carrier motor asm. Then the pin holdong the pulley. A shop would charge about 50 dollars.
