@robbie12 sounds like an issue with the main power rail. To disassemble your Walkman use the [document|41986] service manual. It also includes the schematic etc. If you need any help with that, post some good pictures of the main board with your question. That way we can see what you see and hopefully help you further. Use this guide [guide|21499] for that.

@robbie12 well let's start off with the easy stuff. Let's see if your circuit board gets power. Set your multimeter to VDC and a scale of something like 12V. Assuming Red probe is positive and Black probe is negative.
-
Connect your power supply. Then touch the Black probe to the Neg probe and the Red probe to the Pos probe (as marked on the picture). Let us know what voltage that shows. Next to the same for yo battery. Connect a battery and measure the contacts on the circuit boards the same way as you did with the power supply. Let us know what voltage you get.

In the meantime check online for some reading about resistors, capacitors and Diodes. You have a lot of Diodes on your board and you will have to check a couple of those later on, if we do not find any error quickly. [https://www.protoexpress.com/kb/basic-components-overview/|This is] fairly good. Then read about how to do basic testing of those components. [https://blog.waynejohnson.net/doku.php/electronic_component_testing_cheatsheet|This one] is from a really great tech and really easy to understand. Then there is a good one [https://www.agsdevices.com/electronic-component-testing-standard-advanced-techniques/|right here]. sorry about the homework ;-)
