[SOLVED] CDJ 1000 Mk3 Jogwheel unresponsive

Hi! I have a problem with my cdj! After about an hour of use the jogwheel becomes unresponsive, it doesnt speed up or slow down a track in cd mode, the same error occurs in vinyl mode however the the track will stop when I press the jogwheel. Its an intermittent problem. Its not a cdr problem as I have checked it with original cds. Can anyone diagnose the problem? I live in Ireland and dont want to ship it overseas. Maybe someone knows a service shop in South of Ireland?! Thanks

Gavin

Hey Steven, where are you living?

Hi Gavin, I'm from Mitchelstown, Co. Cork!

Hi, brought the cdj to my local engineer, he did a great job of servicing it, replaced cue/play buttons etc. Unfortunately the Jog Dial problem didnt occur while he had it! There was no visible dirt on the sensor switch, & pcbs, it was spotless really. So going to take it back to him tomorrow. Just a quick question, could the problem be possibly a firmware issue? The deck has been updated to 2.3

@Steven > I'm from Cork city myself ;)

Cool, glad you got most of it sorted. You could try forcing the update again although I'm not sure that is the problem. Ask your engineer to take a look and let us know what he thinks...

Small world Gavin! The engineer has it with a few days now and he is finding it very frustrating! The problem just wont occur. He's gonna swap the jogwheel with my other deck, that will rule out a few things.  will update soon!

Gavin

Nice one, thanks!

Steven Walsh

Just a quick update! ;-) Engineer found the problem! There's a small pcb under the jogwheel called "JOGB ASS'Y", attached to this is a little disc encoder which gives the forward/reverse signal. The fault is somewhere on that small pcb. He has ordered replacement parts from pioneer. Hope this information will help other DJ's & engineers with similar problems. :-)

Gavin

Excellent! Thanks for letting me know, Stephen!
