Korg Pitchblack just died

No click, no response when I press the button. Worked yesterday morning just fine then I go to plug it in later in the day, different location & nothing.
Anyone know how to fix?

That was one of my first tuners and it lasted less than a year. I currently have the classic boss tuner, had it almost 10 years.

It's been on dozens of tours, been dropped hundreds of times and survived a basement flood.

It's an industry standard, great investment.

Does the one spot fry it? Was it powering other pedals off the one spot?

I'm not certain. Order on the chain was pitchblack, comp, od. & 1spot was plugged into a surge protector. Other pedals were fine I think mine's just expired.
Too bad I'd hate to buy another tuner.
If it matters, 18volts from the bass (active)

I had one crap out. Korg very nicely took care of me. I still have the replacement and also a PB +. Gave another to one of my guitarists as a b'day present.... Call Korg...

Keep your receipt & Korg will replace it up to 3 years. No receipt--no dice but the place where you bought it from may have a copy. If you can remember where you bought it from. I.e. I'm screwed.

I bought a second one ebay & it was a lemon now the guy won't refund. I opened a case.

Just keep your receipt if you buy a Pitchblack.
