Psr-510 Powerless

I've had a PSR-510 for years. Last week it stopped working, no lights or anything. I thought maybe my granddaughter left it on after her last visit so I replaced the batteries but still nothing. Is there someone I can bring it to to look at u

If you have used the unit only on batteries you may have a connection issue in the battery bay. Check the cleanliness of the contacts and try cleaning with alcohol or another cleaner like methylated spirits. Avoid acetone as this melts plastic. You can also check the unit with an external power adapter. The specification is stated in the user guide page 5. You can download a copy here:

We do not offer a repair service. You would need to look for a local service engineer for them to look at it for you if the checks we have offered do not resolve your problem.

Good luck.
