No, you’re not getting a photo of my bottle of shower gel and its badly water damaged label too (a non-waterproof label on a jug of shower gel?!)

A useful continuum

Chances product will work efficiently, safely, and properly, as designed and advertised <--------------> Number of superfluous high brightness blue LEDs integrated into product

I have yet to find an exception to this rule.

Tedco Electronics in Melbourne proudly keeps this monster ready for use. It’s a very satisfying sort of blue and will help you diagnose your thermionic valves.

It’s probably about as effective.

Solution :
A) disassemble the player and resolder these cracked solder joints below the affected buttons
B) instruct DJ(s) to not pound the buttons
C) if B is ineffective, pound on DJ until it is

Shown here : dn-s1000, play button is in the far corner. I’ve seen the same problem on most Denons and a couple of Stantons.

 

When I originally posted this, my phone autocorrected “Denon” to “Demon”. Boy, when these solder joints go bad… you’ll think there IS a demon in your CD player, bent on ruining your DJ sets… :D
