Which socket are you plugging the mike into? It goes into the one on the Right Hand Side, on the left of where you store the cable.

Before you condemn it, check the wiring or test the mike with something else. These mikes have a long cable and it can fail!

Clean (I am sure you have) and demagnetize the heads and all other metal in that area. You can get a head demagnetizer off Ebay or ask on here. Also, check the head alignment. Carefully in the case of the erase head!

Cheers,

Steve P.
