Has new battery and would cut in and out until no sound could be heard
Rememberthe switch for the battery is ACTUALLY the sleeve of your guitar cable. If the jack fails, the battery will not be connected. Unfortunately, these jacks take a lot of abuse. The jack is really a stereo jack and the connection of the "ring" of the Tip-Ring_Sleeve (TRS) female jack to the "sleeve" connection is what grounds the battery for operation.
Mistakenly using a stereo audio cable will also cause this problem.
Use a good quality instrument cable, preferably gold plated plugs. Bad cables cause a LOT of these problems!
