My Model 100, which has been the subject of several posts in the past
and which has received several repairs is now inoperative once again.
I was experimenting with printout: When I obtained the M100 a few years
ago it came with a dot matrix 105 printer. There are no more ribbon
carts for this printer but I revived the ribbon with some WD-40 and was
able to demonstrate printability through the cable from the built-in
software.
Today I was trying to see if I could print to a Canon BJ-80 ink-jet I
recently revived. (I had already determined, with a Model 102, that the
Canon responded to its PRINT command, although there was incomplete
printout.) I had just loaded the Scripsit 100 software onto the M-100
and created a test document to print onto the Canon. I moved the M100
from its PSU and cassette connections to the BJ-80 but when I hit the
power switch on the M100 I got nothing.
I have tried reset, CTL-SHIFT-BREAK, batteries out, memory backup off,
everything I can think of, to no effect. If there is another thing to
try, please advise; otherwise I have bricked it (again) and will have to
find a repair.
Thanks,

CTRL-BREAK-RESET
Don't need shift for the break in this case, so it's just 3 fingers,
though it's still 2 hands.
