No power. Last saturday I pressed the little button for the light to pop up. When it did, the entire turntable lost power and wouldn't turn on anymore. It's basically dead now. Even plugged in and days later it will not even get the red light near the platter or anything.

There two fuses in the turn table and I've heard of the power button going bad I have one with the same problem that's been collecting dust... Stick with technics...

Maybe a boot issue.
If you got some CD with your computer when you buy it, try to start your computer with one of these CD into the CD drive.

Hello Kristi,

I'm not sure if this will work, but worth a try. It appears that your power up settings have got messed up somehow.

Put it all back together, batteries and charger. It will try to boot after a fashion. Just give it a couple of minutes to try and do what it should. If it still hasn't come on properly, press and keep pressed the on/off button until the laptop turns off (about 5 seconds). Leave it a couple of minutes then try and turn it on again normally.

After this, I'd need to be able to look at what's happening to help any more.

Sometimes you have to unplug it for about 30 seconds, then when you plug it in press the power on button. If there is still no sound, check the speaker connections on the back they sometimes come loose.

Have you put the drivebelt around the motor spindle - the instructions don't make it too clear. The belt is already on the underside of the turntable, you just need to put a finger through the hole in the turntable, pull the belt out and hook it over the motor spindle. After that, if you've pressed the power button (back right), you should see the 33rpm light come on. If it's on, press either of the 2 big buttons on the left hand side and the motor should turn. You can check by looking through the hole in the turntable & see if the motor spindle is turning. If none of the above work then you have a faulty unit.

Do the lamps ( 33/45, strobe, pitch at 0, pop up light ) light up when you turn them on. Was the storage climate controlled?


Keep me posted.

need to know if it powers up. Does it try to spin, do you hear it trying to spin? More than likely the on/off switch went bad. No, I am not referring to the ON/OFF knob. THere is a switch this engages when turned. The part is S601. You might also want to replace the Start/Stop switch as well. If neither work, then the issue is on the main PC board, and probably IC101, or IC201 with the problem. At this stage, you will have to have a service tech look at your unit.

What's happening is you are activating one door switch a little before the other, and that is causing your light, fan, and turntable to come on. The plastic parts are not perfectly rigid, so they flex a little when you press the button, and that causes the lag to be more apparent. Even if you press the door open faster and look really close, you may notice the light, fan, and turntable coming on for a split second. That's perfectly normal. The relay on the control board must also be turned on before it will actually be cooking.
