Compressor Problem

[BlackAck]

So, SWMBO decided to treat me to my first proper airbrush.  It was a one of those relatively cheap starter sets by Master.  I read the instructions and decided to go for it.  Found a well-ventilated space, carefully measured thinned paint into the airbrush, pressed the little red power button.  To my dismay, the green power light flicked on, the compressor functioned for maybe a second and then stopped.  Now the power button won't respond either way.  I had initially used a power strip to connect but a quick internet search said that was a no-no, so I switched to plugging it in directly to the outlet.  No power light, nothing.  Checked if the outlet was indeed working.  Yup.  Still no power.  For those of the technical bent it's a MAS KIT-VC16.

 

TL:DR Have I just completely ronnied my airbrush?

I would send it back for a refund and get  something that is fit for purpose.

There  are a number of people on here that can advise you what to buy depending on the budget you have, what you are looking to be painting & the paint you are using.
