Spilled beer on DJM-2000(mostly on the beat effects) Now everything works accept for the 1/2 Button
A beer got spilled on my DJM-2000 last weekended while I was playing a friends party and the beat effects started to mess up in the middle of my set. all the lights began to act strange. Then I left it alone for 2 days cleaned it and they all started to work accept for the 1/2 which worked but was very sticky(so i had to mash it kinda hard to get it to activate) I turned it on again a day after that and everything seemed perfect accept the 1/2 is just not working at all now.... I can scroll though the ms with the knob though and the 1/2 light underneath it activates when im at the right # of ms.... So the effect works just not the button... I was told by the guys at guitar center i might just have to open it clean it with a contact cleaner and it might work after that. Any thoughts?

keep in mind the fader caps are p-locks though so don't just try and rip them off, if you google, you will see how to properly remove the fader caps
I have (STORE) pro coverage, I can send it in and have them fix it but I wont have the mixer for a while then and I will have to pay another 400ish to have the pro coverage renewed. What you think?
No point having the cover if your not gonna use it..
its a $3000 mixer so what is $400
well its another 400 after I send it in to renew the protection. So I figure if I can find a way to not spend 400$ on a single button that might be better.... i think i might take it to my electronics professor today and see what she has to say.
$400 is definitely a lot for just one button, but the insides of the mixer should definitely be cleaned. There was some spillage on a CDJ I owned and I did nothing but let it dry and it worked fine. A few months later it started acting up and now its pretty much just decoration in my house. Could have just been an isolated incident but I wouldn't risk it on a DJM 2000!
@Brichi - Are you sure the 2000 has p-lock faders? I thought that was something new introduced on the 900 which came out after the 2000?
@ Bwag - ------- So I figure if I can find a way to not spend 400$ on a single button that might be better....
the only time you will find out the right ianswer is if you take the chance and then its too late.
if i were urring on the side of caution i would wait and see if anything goes wrong and hold on to your trump card
if it were me i would be sending it in as i dont want it breaking down mid set** when i really need it :)

I asked the same question.

we thought so too until a 2000 user complained he couldn't get them off and then realized they were p-lock the hard way in this thread: http://forums.pioneerdj.com/entries/21208292-djm-2000-cross-faders-do-they-come-off
@B-Wag > The only option available to you is to have the unit repaired by an authorized repair centre. If you have a certain type of coverage with a certain retailer then it may be a good idea to go there. It is NEVER a good idea to open up the unit yourself (within the warranty period or not) - you risk hurting yourself or further damaging the unit.
