Holy moly. This video is 8 years old. In my life I fixed absolutely nothing so far when it came to electronics. I followed the steps to fix my player and can hardly believe it worked this perfectly. Thank you so much James. Fantastic work.

im about to try

I Just did fix one of mine that presented this problem. Did It with a hairdryer!!! 3 rounds of 15s on Max heat. I isolated the rest of the board cutting a square hole with the Chips size on a piece of paperboard. Job done! Amazing tip! Thank You so much for the vídeo mate! Helping half of the world with this! Amazing how these Pioneer CDJs are a piece of crap inside...

Thanks! 2024 still saving cdj’s!! Saved my set!

Score!

So glad I came across this video, bought a heat gun for £15 and it worked like a charm no issues what so ever! Can’t thank you enough pal!

James, thank you so very, very much! Had this error on both of my CDJ 2000s, took them apart following your video and fixed them with a hairdryer. Absolutely stoked!

This is a life saver video...! Worked for me 1st time with a hairdryer, 3 lots of 7 seconds at 2cm distance from chips. Thank You James. New mother boards are 405 euros and waiting time right now is 17 weeks, as there is a huge shortage of parts and micro chips due to Covid

Today out of nowhere, i got the e8709 error. I exactly followed the steps. It worked for me :) Thanks for the video.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'd lost all hope that my deck would ever work again and then stumbled across this video. Got it working on the 1st try and the deck is as good as new. You're a legend James, many thanks!

Amazing this worked for me as well. Thank you!!!!

Defo the man of the year 🙏😎

I followed the procedure and at first it worked but when I off and on it, it went back to the WAIT then I did it again and it worked. Something weird also happened, the Cdj always work perfect before I close the back tray but as soon as I close the tray and put the bolt, it will stop working and go back to the wait error. I did that like 4 times before I decided not to put all the bolts on the back tray so I only used 3 of the bolts instead of the 5 and it working perfect ever since. I still don't know why that happened till now. thanks, God bless you.

This worked for meeeeeeeee! Thank you James

You are doing great, you hit the head👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👍

please i want a video to Disassemble PIONEER CARROZZERIA FH-P66MD how to connect and reconnect flat cable connections in this device

I have the CDJ 1000 and the same mistake E- 8709 will be that I can do the same process ??

I want to know if this works for other pioneers equipments like the DJM2000 With Init errors 0004 ..??

question: does this also works with the cdj 800 mk2? my set has also a E-8709 error, and when he gets that error the cdj reboots himself, do you know how to fix that?

Helpful thanks,does anybody knows how to fix repair or replace the track searchlight?the one on the search knob,Thanks.,

Hi mate. Last night i got this E-8709 error msg on my 1000mk3 will it be the same process to fix? My problem is that the circuit boards are different to urs

Could this fix a 'Main CPU Error' on a CDJ900 Nexus?

it can also resolve the e-7022 panel cpu error?

Hi! nice video! Please could you be so gentle to explain to me how is possible a thing like that? And how did you discover this? How is the reason cause the heating fix the error? And why the chip change the behavior of the cdj like that? What happened to the chip and what do the hot air to the chip? Is incredible. Coul be the humidity? Or the vibrations? Is something connected to the hits when you move the cdj from the case to the consolle? I'm curious! thanks a lot!

Hello Man i got a Problem with my cdj2000nexus Player he shows me the E 8302 Error could you tell me how i can Fix the Error? Many thanks by the Way for your Instructions !

On 850 the part you heated here is a bit different, it's without cable sockets. Is it gonna work this way? Update: tried 3 times, not working with 850

If like xbox this fix is probably temporary. People “reflowing” it with hairdryers, a hairdryer is never gonna get hot enough to melt solder otherwise it would be too dangerous to put near your head😂 Headgun would def get hot enough but personally i would recommend if you are reflowing bgas that you run some liquid flux under them first as it will help the solder flow better. Also would recommend a temperature probe to check what temp the board is getting and maybe some foil and capstan tape to protect the other components. That aside thanks for the info on the problematic board. Good job

Great video man! I have the same problem on CDJ-350. Who I fix that?

Will it also work with CDJ 1000mk2s

спасибо,помогло👍🏻

I've just had this problem happen to me, I had it fully unplugged for 3 odd hours like someone prior mentioned. I then put the latest firmware onto my usb and went to update bit still had the e8709 message appear. I think turned it off and did a factory reset ( usb stop & disc eject buttons theb power on) on the unit and by miracle perhaps it came right. Don't know if this will help anyone but my 2000 is working again!

Can it work on CDJ-Mk800?

Great... Sir I am from India and my pioneer CDJ 850K is showing an error E6002.. I will be very grateful if you could please tell me the reason behind this error and the solution. Thank you

Hey man, I gave it a go not sure if I went to hot or something, but now it powers up but only the track search buttons light up and the CD light at the bottom. Any ideas? And would it be possible to just buy a new one of those mother boards or whatever it is haha.

What are you hooking the RCA's in to? I would try to use the digital out and see if you still have issues (you can use a regular RCA cable for that too) and just plugin to the mixers digital input. Keep in mind the CDJ's output is going to be at LINE levels so if you are hooking in to something that's non-amplified it will sound quiet.

Plugged everything in and for some miraculous reason it works. I have no idea what the hell is going on, and highly doubt what I did had any influence, but it just started working again...
