Linn LP 12 Problem.......

Just bought one and got to play one record.......that's it.
Anyway the soft touch power button would not shut off so i unplugged it,plugged it back in and still stuck on.......unplugged it again and left it.
Anyway later in the day i went to plug it in again and i have no power, press the button and nothing.
Took the bottom off and it seems like it could be a little loose at the circuit board, the ribbon looks ok.
I got this on trade for an amp, now i have no amp and a tt that does not work, great!

I honestly don't know who would care to object to your solution. It is not as though Linn has a proposed solution of their own for fixing the board - as far as I know they haven't supported the Valhalla for years.

Almost forgot about this thread!
The problem was the caps, had them replaced and the Linn is working fine.....Wow, just got it and had an offer i could not refuse and now it is gone.
Have the old standby Thorens TD160 going and the Linn was definitly a blacker background and better sounding.
Well at least i had one and used one, so when money gets better i will not hesitate to buy another if the price is right.
Thanks for the replys!
