    Default LED's are copping out

    So certain LED's under my buttons have failed to work, particularly the Copy To DECK D which usually lights up blue doesnt work, so I have no idea when the right side is controlling deck D or deck B. Most of the other LED's (FX, Beat Juggle, EQ FX) have stopped working as well.

    Any suggestions how to fix?

    it's more likely that a component like a resistor is going out, not an LED. Most LED's have an insane life cycle time. Not saying that it's not, but if it's other LED's as well, you probably have more electrical problems on the board than just LED's. Either that or it isn't receiving/getting sent the right MIDI signals to light the buttons.

    I would do some test mappings to see if its a mapping problem or a physical hardware problem

    If you purchased a SE controller from us- shoot me an email to ean@djtechtools.com,

    you definitely need to confirm that its hardware first. Does one deck C button light and the other not?

    Yea its definitely the hardware. C button will light up and then control all the functions of deck C, but D button does not light up, but WILL control the functions of deck D. Its a little hard then to know when I am controlling B or D. Also the beat juggle button doesnt light up blue when pressed or when the knob is turned up all the way. Alot of the buttons on the mixer section like EQ FX, headphone cue, or other effects buttons don't light up, but do peform their functions when pressed.

    Ean Ill be sure to shoot you an email soon.

    I've had one cue light on my VCI burn out already, and the unit is less than 6 months old. Yes LEDs have thousands of hours life expectancy, but so many are made, you will still get faulty ones.

    Fixed it.

    Turns out the only issue was my MIDI out settings in Traktor were disabled. Don't know why that fixed it but it did, thanks for the help guys.
