Hey everyone,
Recently dug out my guitar to start playing again. It had issues with the pickup before but thought it was the 9volt, never replaced it and just played acoustic. Recently though I wanted to plug it in, got a new battery and I still get no power light in the eq. Anyone ever have this problem before any suggestions for a fix?

Welcome.

First check that the terminals of the battery clip and the battery itself are making a firm, locked connection with each other.

Second, see those two wires coming into the battery clip? Check their opposite ends and ensure that they are firmly soldered into the PC board. Usually, this is the culprit where one of the two has snapped off or come pretty close to it.

Third, check the wiring connections at you're guitar's output jack and to where each of the wires are ultimately going to on the preamp.

Fourth, check all wires not specified to this point.
