There is no mention of a factory reset in the Mk1 service manual. The firmware can be upgraded - Mk1 & Mk2's need to go to Pioneer / Videotec, Mk'3 can be upgraded from CD.

The pitch may just be faulty, look here for a replacement :-

There is a fine adjust on the pitch control circuit board, however if it is staying at Zero at the extremes then it's time for a new pitch control :(

There is a line of these fuses next to the power supply connector on the main board

if there is a tiny hole on front place a paper clip in there it will eject it does on other systems

Sounds like a ball bearing is gone! i'm sure london has a lot of deck repair shops and a general service should do it! spring went in my CDJ 1000's not so long ago and it wouldn't play at all in vinyl mode quick service did the trick

You will have to take it apart in order to get to the power supply board inside. See if the fuse is blown...if it is replace it with one of the same type and rating...If it is not, then check to see if the switch is working ok...If you do not know anything about electronics don't try to repair it yourself...get a qualified service technican to do it for you...You could also have something shorted on one of your other ckt boards that could be dragging down the power supply...and would make it look like it has no power...

The CDJ1000mk3 has some yellow fuses that look like this: http://artaudioparts.com/product/aek7023/ Open it up and use a multimeter to check if any of these fuses is blown. A blown yellow fuse could be your problem. I do not remember right now which fuse is responsible for the screen. Check the service manual and find the part number, it begins with "AEK". If you find it drop us a message here: http://artaudioparts.com/contact-us/ so that we list the part online, if we have not already upload it. www.artaudioparts.com

Had the sam problem... Turn te player upside down, take off the bottom cover and check the semiconductor fuses located near the supply connector on the top of mainboard. The one that is responsible for display is marked as VLOD (-40V). Worked for me :)

The pickup is not reading the disc or the drawer in switch is not being detected.

Does it ever finish loading- any indication of that?

This would be because the tray mechanism is not being able to reach the end of the load position in pushing a switch or that that switch is bad. It might be corrected by either a new belt if one is used or lubrication of the mechanism and maybe some Deoxit spray into the switch if that measures open all the time even when pressed in. Deoxit is a contact restoration spray used by technicians that is available at MCM Electronics.

Have you read the owners manual on how to work that feature?There may be an enable switch to keep you from accidentally activating the speed change.

Motor is going in it, Just get a new one . It will cost you less then to have it repair,

wd-40 will remove anything even spray paint, and will not harm elect parts, then use canned air to get as much wd-40 out and wipe outside with alcohol and paper towel. Don't use to much wd-40.

Diconnnect the player from the mixer, hook directly to your receiver or amplifier, now try it out, if nothing! replace the audio cords from the player to the receiver/amp, power up both units, hopefully this will work.

Yes, this can be caused by a faulty button or buttons, where they are stuck in the on position. The control line gets blocked by the stuck button, and won't even eject in some cases. Take it to a service centre and they should be able to resolve it while you wait, and drink their tea :)
