Help, No sound from Turntable


Sat down to listen to some vinyl and nothing.  Dead as a door nail.  Yesterday it worked fine.  Digital works fine.  Place the needle on the record and not a peep.  Is there anyway to diagnose where the issue lies?  Is it the cartridge?  Phono pre-amp, pre-amp, etc?

Have you tried turning it off, and then turning it on again? Is your preamp set to “phono”?
What turntable, what preamp/integrated/reciever, what cartridge, do you have a phono preamp?
@lewm Yes, have tried turning everything off and on again.  Preamp is set to phono.  Still no dice.  

@vinylzone  I have a VPI Scoutmaster with Ortofon Black Quintet cartridge.  Phono preamp is a Parasound JC3. 
This may sound bizzare, but try plugging the tonearm cables directly into the preamp (bypassing the phono pre).

If you get any  sound, and it won't be good, then the problem is likely the phono pre or the cable from the phono pre to your preamp.  you may have to turn it up to hear without the phono pre.

if not, it's somewhere  starting with the cart and ending with the phono cable from the arm to the phono pre.
