Check the DC power supply that runs the motor, Ive had those give issues quite often
In some cases, when drive motors stand for a period of time, they tend to freeze up. The magnets can also loose their properties and the stator and rotor fail to operate normally. You may be able to break the rotor loose by splining the belt end with your fingers. Twist the spindle back and forth as it will not hurt the motors function. Also check to see if the electrical contacts are positive. If one wire is loose or the insulation cracked off, it could be shorting out. Using a Volt/Amp meter is necessary for a continuity test.

SOURCE: Streched CD drive belt
turntableneedles.com has about 450 belt sizes in stock. your unit is too new to have this listing yet as the belt should not have failed already so when you call be ready with the length of the old belt. Don't worry that it is stretched, a new size will be calculated that is about 3-5% shorter.

I take it that it doesn't turn? OK two choices for you. Faulty motor, or a on/off switch that doesn't work. If you have to move the arm to start the turntable then some kind of leaver switch is either bent or broken.
I should imagine this model uses no more than a 12 volt motor. If you have no look with the switch, find the motor and take it out. Then stick a 9 volt battery on it, or lower voltage if it's only 6 volt motor. If it don't go it's bust!
