Got this DJ mixer very cheaply, has various faults. After power has been off a while, switching on lights ALL the LEDs and it wont boot. At this point, switch off then on and again and it will often (not always) boot, or at least boot partially.
When its running it mostly works, though sometimes the EQs don't. I found the sound also quite lacking in bass with all EQs at zero.
Inside there are no obviously bulging caps, but the switchmode PSU unit has quite a few "DECON" caps, which I understand are rubbish.
Thinking to replace these and see if any difference. Aside from that there is a processor board with dozens of very small electrolytics. It would take a while to replace every single one but I might try it.
Does anyone have any experience with this mixer? Reading online it seems they are more or less garbage, but I wonder if that's poor capacitors for the most part. The effects sounded good - when they worked!
Will also try a factory reset as well in case the settings got corrupted. Beyond that It might be destined for scrap!
