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!

Looks like i have to take it into the local Linn dealer next week.
Wish i had another power switch to try, i replaced the fuse and nothing and the caps are all in tact.
One small black cap has black around it........wonder if that's the problem.

Thanks very much guys, how much does a lingo cost and where can you get one?
Is this old or current?
I just bought the table and got 2 records to play and then the problem.......just my luck.
I hope it is a simple fix, i have no intention on spending over a hundred bucks for repairs of which the local Linn dealer said it would most likely cost.
How much better sounding is the Lingo option? well worht the money?

Almost forgot about this thread!
The problem was the caps, had them replaced and the Linn is working fine.....Wow, just got it and had an offer i could not refuse and now it is gone.
Have the old standby Thorens TD160 going and the Linn was definitly a blacker background and better sounding.
Well at least i had one and used one, so when money gets better i will not hesitate to buy another if the price is right.
Thanks for the replys!
