No power in my LV-03

[samsonwilliams]

Just picked up this LV-03, it was built in 2008. I tried switching out the 9V battery from the larrivee electronics, but don't still no power. Any suggestions?

I believe it has L.R. Baggs electronics. Any help is appreciated. Not sure where to go to learn more about this.

I would take it to a guitar repair shop.  Maybe it's just a loose wire?

Welcome to the Larrivee Forum, Samson.
When you removed the 9v battery did it show signs of corrosion?
Did you buy this pre-owned guitar from a dealer?
If so, I would start there for trouble-shooting, repair or worst case, return.
If you bought it from an individual talk to them. Did they know electronics weren't working? You might renegotiate the price.
Any way, a short such as StringPicker6 suggested is one likely scenario.
Good luck.
Please report back with your resolution.

Back then, Larrivee installed what was called the LR Baggs Element Notch.
Question, do you have "barn door" electronics, or the volume control at the soundhole?
Or is the battery installed in a little bag?
Just asking because I am not totally familiar with Baggs products.
You can email Larrivee at service@larrivee.com, mention LV-03E and LR Baggs in the subject line, and inquire.

It sounds like a connection issue might be at play. Double-check the battery terminals and ensure they're making proper contact. Sometimes, a loose wire or connection within the preamp can cause power issues. Also, inspect the output jack, as it can sometimes be the culprit.
