I encountered an issue at my last corporate event where the right deck on my DDJ 1000 got tight and eventually locked up, preventing me from playing on that side. I had to find a quick fix to get through the event, and luckily, I managed to jam it into a position that allowed me to continue. However, I needed to get this problem fixed ASAP.
I called around and searched for a repair shop, but the shortest repair time was 2-3 weeks and the estimated cost ranged from $300 to $600. I couldn't afford to wait that long, and ordering a new deck wasn't an option because they are discontinued and shipping would take too long. So, I looked up a few DIY tutorials on fixing different problems with the DDJ 1000 and decided to try fixing it myself.
It was a nerve-wracking job, and I was extremely careful not to damage anything else on the board. Once I opened it up and studied the components for a bit, I thought, "Why not? The worst that could happen is I mess it up, and I would need to spend the money and time to fix it anyway." To my surprise, it was simpler than I expected.
If you have an issue with your turntable deck, trust yourself and save some money by fixing it yourself.
