My olympia electric typewriter is always on capital letters no matter how i unlock the keys/shift...won't go back to small letters.

Caps lock button is locked. Good luck, Bret

Guessing the buffer resting stops for smalls and possibly capitals have moved ir come loose? They should be adjustable with a small spanner and screwdriver. Or if not adjustable you might have to slightly slightly bend the resting stops! However before doing any off the a both check the plate under machine where the shift lock rests. That might be very loose abd give some similar problems. Best

press the shift lock key

Turn it off and see if the carrier will move back and forth by hand if it will but feels a little gummy spray a little WD40 on the silver shafts that it slides on. If it won't move by hand look for debris in the carrier area.

it must be typed in exactly as you see it on the sticker on the router.....small case & upper case letters where required...press the shift key to get capital letters on your i-pod's keyboard

ther is a set of screws that limit the up and down motion find them then loosen the locking nut and turn just a little at a time untill it is right.

Check the print head/wheel to be sure it is securely in place.

You did not specify if it was a manual or electric or the model, so assuming it is a standard manual or electric machine, push down on the shift key and hold it, then type your letter or letters. If you are typing everything in caps, press the shift lock key.

The light goes on to indicate that the shift lock is engaged, so all letter type in upper case (capital) letters, or on machines with "spell check" to indicate a mis-spelled word. It should go out when you hit eithor left or right shift keys, correct the mis-spelled word or just continue typing.
If it just stays on all the time no matter what you do, there is a problem with the main board.

Look for a slide showing 10,12,and 15 select 10. to bold hold down the code key and press the bold key. to capatlize hold down the shift key.
