I own an Electronic Typewriter AX-22 and the "Line" light is on but the typewriter has this consistent ticking sound. I can use any of the other keys. How do I fix the ticking and is it associated with another issue and not the "Line" button?

Is this consistent ticking sound the speaker, or is it mechanical?
You'll never find a Service Manual for Brother AX-22 electronic typewriter and if you maybe use an Owner's Manual, it won't cover anything like these problems.
Very often, good cleaning and lubrication solves many problems with typewriters. But it is better for specialists to do it. Your best bet would be to look out for an established typewriter repair center.
But you can take off any easily removed covers, and look for anything out of place. If you can see the power supply, look for evidence of capacitor problems (bulging at the top, split open vent on top, or discoloration of the circuit board from an electrolyte leak, not to be confused with the glue they often put for mechanical support).
Also the printwheel might be somehow damaged, such that a sensor thinks it's in a certain position and it's not or one petal is bent and catching on something.
Your problem might be a sensor but it's just as likely that it's a failure in the electronics, in which case it's hopeless.
Thank you very much. I appreciate your response and will give it a good cleaning to see if this may help. I came to the conclusion yesterday that this is probably a wash and we will need a replacement.

Does this happen to be your machine?

Electronic machines are not like manuals so be careful what you try to do with any parts on your machine. Ask for help from typewriter people.
