My radio does not work.
It has not worked for quite some time.
What's wrong with it?

From the information you posted I would guess it's got a serious case of "operatus dumbius assius". I would suggest you give it away. It is worthless to you.

Is it on Welfare? Collecting Social Security benefits, or maybe Disability?
I think it's just lazy.
Show it the help wanted ads and boot it out the door.

This one is easy!
1. Re-connect the power cord.
2. Exercise the on/off switch.
Should be working in no time!

Turn it on. You know how to do that, don't you?
Rub up against it!

Sounds like it needs the Andy Griffith "No Time For Sergeants" fix:
Spit in the back and bash it on the top!
