Singer Touchtronic 2010 won't pick up bobbin thread?

I have a Singer Touchtronic 2010 and the presser foot goes up and down without a problem but the bobin casing will not turn or pick up the bobbin thread. Help! I love this machine but know it is getting old and don't know if it is worth the price to repair. I have taken the bobbin casing out and cleaned the area of lint, etc. as the book described but it did not help.

Sounds like it needs retiming or perhaps the bottom gear has broken, either way you can do it yourself, if you do need a gear they are only about £4.00 or about $8.00, if you e-mail me below I will attach timing instructions for you and if you do find you have a borken gear let me know what country you are in and I will attach a list of sites for spares.
