SO IVE BEEN TRACING POWER TO THE PCB FROM PS BOARD THE UNIT HAS NO DISPLAY , ALTHOUGH THR LCD IS LIT UP IN THE RIGHT HAND CORNER? IM ASSUMING THIS IS EITHER A BAD FLAT CABLE OR CONNECTION? OR POSSIBLY NOT ENOUGH V GETTING TO THE FLAT CABLE FROM POWER SUPPLY SIDE ? I JUST GOT THE SCHEMATICS TO GO THROUGH EACH SERIES OF I C LINKS FUN FUN ANY SUGGESTIONS IM OPEN TO ANY AT THIS POINT

Yeah, these have a bad name in the DJ industry. Fine for static work but not so for mobile.
They are very fragile and as so, I would definitely recommend checking the connections. I can’t remember if these have a zebra strip or not. If they do, it could be the problem.
As for the ‘caps lock’, sort it out!.

Hello,

As the others said, check your CAPS key. Writing a text in all caps is like shouting.
Also use some line breaks as a wall of text might overwelm people.
You could measure voltages before and after the flat cable and see if there is a difference.

My bad for the caps lock. Not intentional, frustrated or anything of that nature. Probably just a bit lazy. Anyways , I appreciate the input.

I will look into those procedures. As far as the zebra strip? Are you referring to the 25 pin ? With the ribbon style cables? Like the old

Commodore computers ? My apologies on the ignorance just not quite there yet with the component lingo. I will post up the schematics <

block and wiring diagrams. Hopefully that will shed some light. I am currently troubleshooting pretty much the same issue with the

MK 800, except this unit is the MK 1000. My opinion, a much bigger headache with the overall schematics on this particular unit.

I will keep you all posted, and thanks again for the insight.

Although the LCD is lit up in the right hand corner?
If the LCD works 'partly' then it's quite likely due to the connections on the LCD itself - they go from the glass display to the circuit board via something called a ZEBRA STRIP which is a long strip of vertical conductors, each separated from the other by 'rubber' insulation.

This strip has to be compressed between the LCD glass and the circuit board to get a decent connection and physical stress can easily cause the two to be moved from a 'parallel' position to a 'slant' and the conductive strip therefore only attaches at one end hence only part of the LCD works.

Happens a lot with 'mobile' equipment, handheld devices etc. Easily fixed by CAREFULLY removing the LCD retaining clips (or whatever), cleaning the strip and circuit board contacts - do NOT attempt to clean the LCD side - and refitting. You can often 'prove' the issue by applying careful pressure to the edge of the LCD and if more of it 'lights up' then the zebra strip is absolutely the cause.

Your absolutely correct. I pressed down on the left corner of the board it self and the fluctuation had caused it to light up more. I’m going to take it apart again and carefully clean as suggested. Also carefully put back in place every other circuitry that had been dismantled. Well done. Thank you.
