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!

If beep that does not stop after start up you may have bad key switch or the ribbon end sensor may be stuck . Check it out, and get back with any info nomatter how small , listen to it very closely when you turn it on you should hear the print assembly check for the home position, this may seem insignificant but my be the vital info that tips the scales you way, good luck, Bret

If you aren't in KBII or a language mode or P.S. pitch the printwheel homing pawl is probably broken. You need a tech.

Hi i have a Brother SX-4000 electronic typewriter and for some reason when i press shift 2 i get n with a ~ over it instead of the @ symbol that i'm trying to get. Please help.

You are in KB II mode some T/Ws have a slide switch, some have a key that must be used with the code key.

Go to BROTHER.COM, click on support you will find a manual there.

Turn it on and it makes a high pitched noise. Does nothing else.

Look closley at the carrier is it positioned on the rail correctly? Can you move it left or right by hand, if it moves faily freely it is ok and it has an other problem.
