I have an electric typewriter wheelwriter 1000, that is OOC. The LED's in lower right all light(which can't be good. The o/p of Ps is good yet I get no voltage to either the carriage motor or motor that controls roller movement at power up. I can only assume that controller/processor board has a bad component. Does anyone have access to a service manual or schematic of this board? J Martin

Are you somewhere remote? I cant say I'd rate your chances very highly of finding a schematic or fixing it without one.

Maybe time to upgrade to a 286 and DOS. And get one of those funky dot matrix printers that does graphics.
I thought I was bad running old equipment. Seriously, am curious as to why youre working on it.
Last time I had a daisywheel I upgraded it with an italic wheel and a red ribbon cartridge. Yep, I could do colour, or a bit of it, and italic phrases, but the hassle of changing wheel & cart twice for every italic phrase ensured it was only ever used for document master production.

Is this an electronic typewriter or an old daisywheel printer?
Electrolitic caps may cause this problem. Replace them all in CPU board
