CDJ-800 mk2 Cue Buttom replacement

   

Hey Guys
My Cue buttom on one of my CDJ-800mk2's have been a little blunt lately. It's a well known problem, and I have had the buttoms replaced before at a the shop where I bought them. But now it has happened again. I got a pair of buttoms to replace with, and have been thinking about doing it myself. I know that the warranty will be lost. But is there other tips and tricks I should know about? Anyone have experince in doing it themselves?

Thanks in advance...

Yes I have... It's an easy job that's self explaining.

If you don't think you could figure it out by doing it, you might better not start on it by yourself. It's nothing more than unscrewing the bottom, removing a piece of PCB and replacing the switch.

Just a 15 minutes job I guess if you're a little experienced.

It sounds pretty easy. Thought it also might be so, but didn't want to open the case without asking somebody else first. Better start unscrewing before the weekend starts
Thanks Lead!

If your experienced with a screwdriver and solder welt you should be ok.
If this is your first time of soldering electronics : perhaps rethink about it

Remember : a good welt is only heated about 2-3 seconds and uses a very tiny amunt of soldering tin.
and as with all electronics : DO NOT USE FLUX (soldering fluid), it will destroy your circuit board by a chemical reaction !


Remember : This will void warranty !!!

• unscrew screws in the black plastic (do not turn the CDJ up-side-down on the platter, use wood or so to make sure all pressure is on the body of the player and NOT the platter ! Just like in my SL1200 topic you can use something like CD covers to get the desired height.
  
  Again : KEEP THE PLATTER FREE !
  
  
• Unscrew 5 black screw from the bottom and 1 silver one on the back
• Open the CDJ like a book
• Unsolder the switch(es)
• Unscrew 6 screws of the pcb and only lift it a few cm (3-4)
• Remove the switch and replace with new original part
• put back the pcb and solder the switch to it
• then reassemble the CDJ

I know how to swing a screwdriver and have been soldering some things before. But never such a big thing, so just wanted to hear what you guys have to say before I started on doing something I did'nt knew much about. 
Thanks a million for the guide Lead .
Now I feel a little more comfortable about doing it myself.

Just remember : no more warranty if opened...

Good Luck !

Let us know how it worked out!

Thanks I know about the warranty.
But as a Dj I just prefer to know my equipment and how to repair it myself.
Just need to buy some small things, and then I'll be starting.
Will let you know how it worked out

the typenumber for the right switch is : DSG1079

Hey again guys.
SO, changed the Cue buttom today. It turned out to be a damaged tact switch. And maaannnn what an easy job. Glad I didn't pay for it. Thanks for all tips and advices

Be glad to help.... perhaps I'll make a DJ topic about this someday... it might help more people

If you do Lead, I'll be glad to help with some tips and tricks you should keep in mind and another things you might need.

yes a cdj repair / 'onderhoud' topic would be nice i guess

Need your help again Lead. What's the serial number for the plastic buttom itself?

Found the serial number myself. It's DAC2286.

Edit: Please ignorere this last post...have had my nose too close to all the soldering...sorry :P

I'll check this out...

we want to see pictures!

Buttonpanel for CDJ-800MK2 has (in Netherlands) this type number :  DAC2286

So what you've posted was correct
