It could be that the wires to the cartridge are off, or that the cartridge is faulty. If you touch two of the 4 wires to the cartridge (when removed) with you finger and the amp on you should hear a buzz on either channel (assuming it's a stereo deck). If you do that's a sign the cartridge has gone. If you don't there's something wrong with the pre-amp in the main part.

it sounds as if the rubber belt is to slack however also worth checking ithe attachment to the spindle itself is not loose 2make sure the belt is the correct type
SOURCE: Technics SL-L3 turntable no sound until warm up
either the cartridge is bad in the phonograph tone arm. Or the pre-amp in the stereo is bad...remember that the turntable is the only accessory that uses the pre-amp input on the stereo. I'm betting the pre-amp is bad.

Hiya, check and be sure the turntable is plugged into correct inputs, "phono"
If thats OK, then probably is the stylus but could also be the cartridge itself. Check the wires on the back of cartridge make sure they are fixed properly. If all Ok, then start with a new stylus first.
Hope it helps

Your tracking and anti-skate are not set correctly.
If you have the manual for this unit, it should have directions for setting these.

This happened to me tonight. I had the same problem, to activate the player on you need to move it to the right until you hear a click. If you don't do it it won't start. Even if all the power is on. This should fix everything!
