put a battery in your guitar. It goes in the space at the bottom, usually where you connect your cable to your amp.
Then hold the guitar as you usually would.
Look for a little board with buttons on the side of the guitar to turn on the tuner: )
Many try to use poor quality guitar cables and have the problem. The sleeve of the guitar cable plug turns on the battery in the guitar. Always loop the guitar cable through your belt or the guitar strap to avoid the cable wisting the plug in the guitar causing noise and WEAR that wears the plug sleeve to the point it no longer will activate the guitar.
Could be a bad jack like you say. Have you changed your guitar cable? Your cable can make a HUGE difference. Can't know exactly which part it is unless its sitting here in front of me...
Remember that while in tuner mode, the audio output is disabled. Try additional presses of the tuner button to see if the audio comes back on. Also verify the volume and EQ gains are turned up. Verify the battery is new.
That is working backwards from what it should be. I suspect a wiring error. Since this is a recent purchase, do NOT risk voiding your warranty. There isn't any real good documentation on the tuner.
I am not sure which tuner you have HOWEVER with one type, the FIRST press will turn on the tuner with the sound going out as well till the tuner goes off. The SECOND press silences the sound and is tuner only, the THIRD press turns off tuner and passes the sound. This is different than a lot of tuners and you will need to do three presses to restore sound instead of the usual two.
IF YOUR GUITAR has a built in tuner, make sure the tuner is off as it disables output while tuning... The other thing is to check if you have a volume control on the guitar that might be set too low.. Make sure if you are using 1/4 inch plug guitar cable that it is NOT a TRS balanced cable, as that will turn off the power in the guitar.
Often, the flashing green light indicates that the tuner is NOT receiving a signal and is a warning that the tuner is turned on.
First thing is to check if you have normal output from the guitar from the pickup. If the output is normal, there MAY be a failure in the tuner.
ALSO, just because a battery is new doesn't mean the battery isn't depleted... either try another from a different batch or use a voltmeter to check it. I have seen people chasing their tails due to a brand new bad battery.
When you select the tuner does the audio OUT of the guitar cut off as it is supposed to?
