I have a Lexmark 1000 typewriter that worked fine this past summer. I just plugged it in, turned it on and NO power. Suggestions??

Check the keyboard connections. Open the top cover and look just below from the top. You will see two ribbon cables. Make sure they are fully inserted. Are any of the keyboard lights flashing?

There is no pitch switch for this typewriter. The only way that you can change the pitch is by changing the printwheel that has the pitch you want. So if you want to type in 10 pitch you have to install a 10 pitch printwheel the same for 12 and 15.

First be sure the printwheel is installed properly, and look for debris in that area. Put some light oil on the silver shaft that the carrier slides on (WD40 is good).

Could be a few things, board, power supply, keyboard or printer.
But there are some things you can check, remove the printwheel and look for debris in that area, unplug and replug the keyboard, if you are really adventurious remove the cover and keyboard and look for paper clips or staples on or under the pc board.
