Hi Everyone,

You've all been very helpful in the past, and I've appreciated it. I am in need of some more advice, and I am thankful in advance for anything you can tell me. 

Just yesterday, thanks to a combination of my clumsiness and my toddler's clumsiness, I dropped my Olympia SM9. It didn't fall far, and the surface it landed on was a carpet. There was no visible damage, and I thought it was fine until I tried using it again and found that the backspace key, when pressed, doesn't return to its appointed position. It does what it's supposed to do--the carriage moves back a space when I press the key--but then the key doesn't move back up to join the other keys.

I don't know anything about typewriters, except that I like them, and so my hope is that what's wrong is obvious to those who are more experienced. Like: did a spring get jarred loose? There is a local expert I can take it to, but if it's something simple I'd prefer to address it on my own.

Thank you in advance.
