electrics question

[sprocketflup]

Hi all, picked up my beloved Aria Pro IGB50 for a noodle last night, plugged in and....nothing.

"Poohsticks" thinks I, and set about changing the battery for a spangly new one, yet still nothing. Further brave probing got me opening the cavity to look for expired rodents....nope, drew a blank there.

Now, I have a multimeter and aren't too shabby with doing stuff meself but have no clue where to start. Are there any online tutorials or the likes that could show me what to test to see whats afoot?

thanks, silently

Apologies if this is obvious....but check your cable works before faffing about inside your bass!

First thing to check is the connections at the jack socket. It's doing both the signal output and acts as an on/off switch for the battery power so there are two separate things that could have failed, both resulting in no sound.
