So if I type the letter l and then type the letter h it is simply typing over the letter l. it only does it when the letter l is typed.
You language button is activated, depress code and hold it down then press the lang button. Usually is the L button.

Look at the ribbon and see if the letters are on the very top of th ribbon. If so on the front of the carrier there is an eccentric screw for adj. ribbon height. Loosen the lock nut W/ a small 9/32 wrench and adj screw to raise ribbon. Be sure to check L/O with the underscore as you can get it to high.

Sounds like the cable might have slipped off the pulley, with the cover off, check all cables to the carriage assy. You need a tool like a spring hook to gently slide the cable back on to the pulley.

To get bold you need a WW 10, 15, 1000, 1500 or any of the later models have this faeture.

Not good. You probably turned the element while removing it and if you are lucky had it come off one of the pulleys, but more likely it came off the wheel under the element. Then you will need a tech.
