try a factory reset on unit

while the machine is off mode, hold down track edit and shutdown buttons. then power on while holding these buttons. an option to to reset will come up, let go of the buttons and select "yes".
This will reformat your entire hard drive, and you will lose any music you were working on, but it becomes operational again. Or you can send it in to Tascam and let them try to bring it back, if you don't want to lose any material.
Hope this helps :)

Hi,

Try to see if the CD player works hooked up to the DJ board. Once this is done try hooking the line out of the board into a auxiliary in or line in or record in on your receiver using the appropriate cables. Try the CD in first and if there is too much signal then use the CD/Tape in. What you need to see is that the there should be a match to the output signal of your board to the input signal of your amp.

Please get back to us if you have any further query or else accept the solution.

bad fuse

make sure your toggle switches are on tyhe correct line and the fader is correctly channeled check all killswitches

Since nothing else is working, the cooling fan is probably powered by AC at line voltage.

The power supply that feeds the electronics has failed but it may not be catastrophic; it might just be an internal fuse that has given up from metal fatigue.
Each time current flows when powered up, the delicate element expands and then contracts when the power is turned off.
Some fuses have a zig-zag crimp in the element that helps delay the eventual death.

With the unit unplugged, remove whatever screws you find on the back or bottom of the mixer so you can peer inside.
If you are lucky, you may find the fuse in a clip or otherwise plugged in.
There will definitely be one in the incoming AC line although if the fan is running, this one may be OK.
There could be one (or more) fuses on the DC side that directly services the circuitry.
Fuses come in a variety of cases; they can be cylindrical of glass or ceramic bodies with metal caps on the ends and of varying lengths.
Others may be vertically mounted smaller cylinders plugged into or soldered (bad) to the board.
Some are nearly indistinguishable in size and mounting from several other types of parts; these though, will not have other than simple text on the part while the others will have more complex markings.
If you find and replace fuses, buy two so that an eventual tech doesn't have to grub around to find one.

If you replace any fuses and they fail again, DON'T proceed. You may damage the unit further and not help anything.

At that point, you need to turn it over to a tech.

I understand that your CD tray on your Tascam CD-A500 CD/Cassette combo will not open. Here are some possible reasons why this might be happening and what you can do to fix it:

• The CD tray may be stuck. If this is the case, you can try to gently pry it open with a flathead screwdriver. Be careful not to damage the tray or the unit.
• The CD tray motor may be broken. If this is the case, you will need to replace the motor. This is a relatively simple repair that can be done by most people.
• The CD tray sensor may be faulty. If this is the case, you will need to replace the sensor. This is a more difficult repair that should be done by a qualified technician.

If you have tried all of the above and the CD tray still will not open, you may need to contact Tascam customer support for further assistance. Here are some additional tips to help prevent your CD tray from becoming stuck in the future:

• Do not force the CD tray to open or close.
• Be careful not to drop or damage the unit.
• Keep the unit clean and free of dust and dirt.
• If you are not going to use the unit for an extended period of time, unplug it from the power outlet.

I hope this helps!

That is an electronics issue, so you need test equipment. You can look for disconnected wires from when you replaced the gear. https://www.google.com/search?q=tascam+122+mkiii+no+sound+output ..

Hi, yes there is. I saw that using the menu presences to find the initialize option and activate it is the way to run a factory reset on your machine. So, you can start with this first. Otherwise, please reference the manual. Thank you.

I am by no means an expert, but is there a possibility that the recorder requires repair ?

It should work I would think as it uses the same OS. I suspect the hdd has issues it the system doesn't complete its boot.
