The last he used it, as far as I know, it worked just fine. When moving from his parent's house he lost the power cable somewhere along the way.
I'm not sure if he ever tried to replace the cable. He had new equipment when he moved, so he didn't need it anymore. It's been sitting around for a little while now. I can't imagine that it wouldn't work anymore.
The cord is one that just plugs in, not hardwired or anything. I don't remember exactly what the connector looks like. If you're interested.. I can give you his email address and you guys can figure out something.
