Hi, I am wondering if anyone on DJU has ever had a Pioneer CDJ1000 apart?

HOLLER!!!

You've not lost another cufflink in your CD-deck have you Brian?

No, I think I've hit the play button too hard over the 3+ years (about 200 discos) that I've used it. It no longer 'depresses' and is now touch sensitive. So, I'm getting my ESD kit , and I'm going to take it apart tonight to see what the damage is.

Did ya have a good drink last night then?

If you can't fix it bring it in to work and Jon will take a look for you. He also know where to order replacement parts from.

If you are going to continue using them it may well be worth sending them off for a service.

It's the actual play switch which is FUBAR

On this picture, it's the little black switch on the right hand side.





The part number of the board is DWS1307. Can anyone here get me one by Friday/Saturday by any chance. Jane, I will ask Jon tomorrow thanx

Garys got a spare double dimmer switch you can chuck into it see what happens

Only messin gaz...did u sort it?

I think so, Discostudio has replied to another thread elsewhere. The board is only about £15. I'll find out tomorrow

Cheers, Brian

Well, I am suprised it is well layed out inside, the device has been well designed from a maintenance point of view, the components look like they are of good quality, and there was not much dust ingress considering the 3 1/2 years mine have been on the road.

Tell me Gary, don't you find that premium products like the CDJ-1000 (£700ish) and the DN-S5000 (£650ish) both have this bar of invisible gold within them? You must admit, they are quite a long way ahead of the competition in terms of their feel as well as their features which obviously commands the premium prices.

However, I would argue that the Technics SLDZ1200 (£600ish) is functionally challenged although being quite pretty to look at, so that would IMHO contain a £600 gold bar inside. Shame, considering how good the SL1200 series was/is. Phew, good job I'm not saying this on the dmcee forumthing

By the way, I don't mind paying these prices for the Pio and DN stuff, I love my Pio's, I also really like the recent output from Denon, and I don't mind paying those prices for them either. Quality pays for itself many times over.

Watch out Gary i think Brian is after a discount of Denon gear !!

i think he is being converted !!

Seme Nedis is your place for spares. I've found the (previously poor) service has improved a bit now.

If the switch itself is marked with a part number on the board try ringing them up for a replacement, the soldering is easily done and might be cheaper. Saying that £15 sounds VERY cheap for the whole board so i'd be inclined to go for that if the price is right....

I had a jog wheel pot go on one of my CDJ100's recently and that was £12 delivered which i thought was good.



However it s still beyond me why the last quote for a single knob for my DJM600 was over £13 delivered!!!

You won't get any support from Pioneer. Spare parts are available from SEME-NEDIS Limited in Melton Mowbray. Pioneer will probably supply you with the part number but you need to ring these folks.

The switches are conductive rubber internally for that technics-SL1210 type feel, they're similar to the ones used in the CDJ500 etc etc.

They are a couple of quid, email me if you want me to order any.
