I could not get my older, but loved, computerized Singer to work so I put it aside to have it repaired. No one would work on it. Found an ad for a used machine, drove 90 minutes, got it for a good price--a 1920's Singer in a beautiful stand. I missed my old machine but this little lady is a great quilt patch seamer. After almost a year I still couldn't find a repair person for the comp. Singer so I watched an episode of Hoarders for inspiration, bit the bullet, and removed the machine from the cabinet to junk it. Voila! The power cord was disconnected from underneath the machine but still attached to the cabinet. Wow! I fixed the problem all by myself. At least I now have a nice old back-up.
