Hi All.
Last Christmas (2017) I recieved a Victrola vinyl record player as a gift. For the price, it was an alright device -- although, I have seen better put together vinyl players for less.
Today, after quite some time without using it, I decided I was going to play an old Marvin Gaye song while in the shower.
I couldn't find the original cord so I used an identical one (SPPS 100V-240V Input 0.5A) to plug it in. Nothing was turning on -- no power at all. I switched adapters and outlets and still nothing.
I took it into our electronics lab and tried to read it with a multimeter. With everything plugged in and on I still could get no reading whatsoever. As of now, I have no pictures of the circuitry, however all of the connections look in tact.
What gives? Without any pictures of the circuits I realize it may he hard to give a diagnosis of the problem. The device was made in China. And I guess what I'm wondering is, do circuits generally degrade with time or become corroded? Dust particles interfering maybe?
Second question: I also wonder if I fried the circuitry initally today by plugging in that adapter that did not come with the device? I saw no smoke, and don't think I smelled anything burning.
I have contacted the business in order to hopefully get something resolved, or atleast a little more information. However, without a reciept, my chances of resolving this issue look slim. Note, this device is prone to issues. Maybe not electronical issues, but altogether it seems like the product could have been stronger.
I have attached adapters used. Starting with efest and ending with the adapter that came with the vinyl player (switching power supply model no. GKYPS0 etc.)
