I've found an invisible machine from the 23rd century, but it's not working.

How can I repair it?

Shoot, why do we always have to answer these newbie questions? Use your
time machine, of course. Everyone knows that!

You can't. No user serviceable parts inside or outside. I suggest
you call tech support from wherever you bought it.

Also, note that only those deemed worthy can actually see and operate
such a machine. (See the Emperor's Clothes). If you can't see it, I
suggest a remedial course in ethics, morals, tact, logic, quantum
mechanics, and not wasting any one's time. Some good deeds would also
be helpful. The machine should slowly become visible as your net
worthiness improves.

You people of the past know nothing.

Pick up a T factor chip for the SW7 (you DO have an SW7 I hope) and
install it. Then you simply go back in time and prevent the occurance
of the faualt. Make sure to use VF9 antigrator so you are not affected
by the timeline. Sorry about your family, but you can write a nice
hefty repair bill on that. I mean 35,890 KW of energy and all that.
You migtht have to do a bit of customer relations to make them
understand that this awesome power does not grow on trees.

If you don't know what it does...why would you repair it? How do you
know its timeline if you can't see it?

Wasn't there a Star Trek Next Generation episode about this? A person from
the 22nd century found a time machine, went forward into the 24th and claimed
to be a historian. He was actually collecting artifacts to take back 200 years
and sell off the technology.

Spray paint it so you can see what broke.

Ya, uhh... energy is measured in Joules not Kilowatts genius! Just get
some spray paint like Lab 1 suggested. :)

Invisible machine or invisibility machine? There's a difference,
you know. The schematics are quite different too. Before you even
attempt to repair the former, a quantum interlocuting frammis is
absolutely essential.

With left-hand or right-hand circular polarization? The RHCP models
have been very difficult to come by lately...

... but in any case, you're gonna need maximum byte separation (MBS).

Send the owner a bill for the repair, with 200 years' worth of compound
interest. Then you can keep the machine in lieu of payment.

Best is circumcised polarization.
