CDJ-500-2 I just bought this from someone the track search buttons doesn't work, the loop out/exit and in/realtime cue are always lit-up. The guy said the loop does'nt work. Can someone know how to fix this? Richie

This probably means that one or two of the tact switches which enable the loop (loop in, loop out, reloop) is damaged and need to be replaced. In pioneer cd players when a tact switch is semi-broken, then if you press another button then it looks like you pressed that semi-damaged switch. For example you may hit "cue" and the cdj loops! It is quite common.
If you have some soldering skills this is the tact switch:

The switch under the button is most likley at fault.
Cue buttons and cue switches are available and easy to change.

Hi,

There is no other option than cleaning.
The player must be taken apart to clean those knobs and housing.

Kind regards,

Hi Mate

I had the same problem and just replaced the cue button on the psb and it works fine, you get them off ebay for £5

In order to set a cue select th button IN/REALTIME CUE once you do that you an press the CUE button located next to the play buton.

Could be either the Track skip switch has collapsed and is thus over sensative or the button bank is broken and the track skip switch is being pressed when the cue button is used.
Could also have liquid spillage on the circuit board which cause all sorts of random problems

the faulty button will not stop it from playing well... replacing them is not hard so long as you have some experience with a soldering iron.
Clean the laser lens with a cotton bud wet with windex... then use a dry one to be sure no residue is left. If it still mistracks... new optics required!. You willl need a pioneer service agent to do this for you. A little complex for the first timer :)

the cue switch has to be cleaned by a technician. if that doesnt work. replace the cue switch.
