Brother PT-D200: My unit wont turn on

Tue, 12 Nov 2024 09:18:22 -0700

I already replaced the ac adapter with a new one and the machine still won't turn on. I don't use the unit with batteries at all as it drains the batteries very quickly.

the screen remains blank. any suggestions?

so i tested it out today with batteries and the unit turned on! Which makes me think something is wrong with the metal prong that attaches to the adapter. I also tested my adapter with my dvd player and it worked. So now I know what the problem is but can this be fixed? It looks fine to me; is not loose or broken.

Dymo Label Maker: Service manuals or information on older Dymo Labelers like 1500 series

Fri, 09 Jan 2026 21:44:19 -0700

I have an older 1500 series labeler - and it makes wonderfully retro labels, but lately it jams and gets stuck so the letters aren't spaced correctly.

This is an older embossing labeler - so I know its a bit odd to ask here :) - its kind of a mechanical marvel - but I'm having the worst time finding any service documentation for them.

Brother PT-210: Brother PT-D210 Won’t Turn On After Inserting New Batteries

Sun, 13 Apr 2025 22:25:34 -0700

Hi everyone,

I just got a Brother PT-D210 label maker, and I’m having trouble getting it to work. I installed a fresh set of AA batteries (6 in total), but the machine either won’t turn on at all or only powers on for a second before shutting off.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

Used brand new alkaline batteries (tried different brands too)
Checked the battery compartment for any dirt or corrosion – it looks clean
Made sure all batteries were installed in the correct direction
Pressed and held the power button firmly

I haven’t tried using a power adapter yet since I don’t have the original one. I’m wondering if a 9V 1.6A adapter with center-positive polarity would work as a replacement.

Has anyone had this issue before? Any suggestions or fixes I could try? I’d really appreciate your help!

Thanks in advance!

As I was trying to print a label, no paper was coming out. It appears that the paper roll became jammed as it was trying to print. I can see that there is still paper inside but it isn't printing. How can I fix that?
