don't panic. LP12s are pretty simple things. it sounds like the power switch is either broken or the connection to it needs to be resoldered. either one should be a cheap fix.
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!
