It does not light up, DH going to take it by our LQS in the morning for me I sure hope it can be fixed. If I had had just 2 more hours my quilt would have been done...
Thanks again for your time and suggestions.
I will go and try a different power cord to see if that works if I can fine one thats close to it.
Try this: REPLACE the LIGTH BULB. My older machine ( a Brother) has the kind of wiring circuit ( or whatever the technical term may be, I'm not technical) which needs to go through the light bulb to connect, likr those Xmas lights when one bulb burns out none will work. Could yours be like that, too? Some of the older models do that. Ask me how I know, felt like an idiot calling the repair shop and the guy said just to replace the bulb.
