Anyone ever repaired a Beatmania IIDX controller?

Post by Erik_Twice »

Guess not, but I will ask anyways. My turntable is stuck and can't move. It was a bit funky but today it's just impossible to play and I'm worried about breaking it.

I have opened the controller and I have no idea of what to do. Everything seems to be joined with screws but I'm afraid that I can't put it back in.

PD: okey, solved it. Seems that the huge amounts of dirt were the problem.

You would be surprised how many "broken beyond repair" devices just need to be cleaned. Ive bought many Pachinko machines and even a Pinball that was that way.

Haha, are you crazy? Do you know how hard is to find a decently priced controller nowadays? :lol:

Yeah. It surprised me because I tought the mechanism was having problems, but after opening it I saw that the reason was dirt covering the whole surface under the turntable.
