    Default Tin Lizzie electrical power issue

    I have a Tin Lizzie 18LS and suddenly I lost all electrical connection. I have checked all power to the machine and everything is working properly including the surge protector. When I plug the machine directly into the outlet (bypass the surge protector) I still have no power at the machine. Is there a reset button somewhere or any ideas on what to check out further?

    get your manual out and see where your reset button is. Often it's just a little tiny hole off to the side of your start button or in the area of. Often if you have a stiletto or darning needle all you have to do is push inside a couple times. BUT look at your manual.

    There is a yahoo group that is dedicated to TinLizzie. If you don't get an answer here, you might want to post there too.

    Did you blow a fuse on your machine? I have done that a couple of times on my Gammill and it is a simple fix.

    Mine did that. I tried everything, too. Fortunately I bought from a reliable distributor. Turns out it was the main power supply. My husband is quite mechanical, so the distributor sent us a new power supply. My husband replaced it and it worked just fine. My Lizzie is a RAM. Hope yours is a quick fix.

    You may have blown the fuse on the machine.

    Just wanted to take a minute to thank all of you for your responses. FYI - yes I did blow a fuse - twice - and we believe the issue is in the main circuit board now. Unfortunately I have to wait until tomorrow to get any answers as to cost and availability of the part.

    Have any of you had any problem with your power cord?

    This happened to me today and we have been looking for a fuse. Can you tell me where to find it? My husband has opened it and we didn't see one.
