LR Baggs Venue Not Working?

I am having the same issue with my Venue di. It worked great for years with batteries. The first time I plugged it in with a 9v adapter. It stopped working with the plug or batteries. I plug the guitar cable in and nothing. The battery light is green when I push the test button. Do I need to send it in? If so, where?
Thanks

The Lyric and the Venue are an excellent combination, so I would love to get that Venue working for you. If you do want to send it directly, just send me an email at [email protected].
Cheers

I was actually referring to the cables that you are using in between the guitar and the Venue. If the cable from the guitar to the Venue is balanced, it will not turn the DI on. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
Any unbalanced instrument cable should turn the DI on. If the DI is not turning on when a compatible cable is plugged into the input, especially if the battery check is showing good voltage, then there may be a problem with the input section of the preamp.
I hope that helps.
Yes I've only used unbalanced leads, so there must be an issue, I'm not sure where to go next, is this easily repaired? I think it may be best to return it to the seller of it's going to be a difficult process to fix.
Im getting a lyric pickup fitted into my guitar so really want to get the venue to compliment it.
Ps I must say it's great that you've responded so quick on these forums so there's a thumbs up from me on your customer service

If the lights are coming on when you hit the button, that means that the DI is getting power.
The check battery light comes on when the check button is pressed (even without a jack inserted) but nothing else works

The only thing that I can think of is to check to make sure that you are not using a stereo or balanced cable on the DI's input. You need a mono/unbalanced instrument cable to turn the DI on.
Cheers!

LR Baggs Venue Not Working?
Hi there
I recently bought a Venue Preamp DI from eBay (I'm in the UK) When i tried the unit it didn't work, the battery check lights lit up but when I plugged a jack into the input nothing happened, I tried a new battery, 2 different 9v power adapters but still nothing. The seller has said he will take the unit back, but he assured me it was working when he sent it (it was second hand) I am just wondering if this is a fault that is known or has occurred before, and if there is a easy fix for this as I would prefer to get the unit working if possible.
Thanks in advance
