Hi,
I am also from Germany (Berlin). I joined this forum and did the test to get some download credits :-) Thanks to Google translator in the web browser I can understand most of the posts here.
I have to say also *THANK YOU* This forum is a real gem, this is the only place where I found all the service manuals for PioneerDJ players and mixers.
Actually I have to repair a Pioneer DJM S9 mixer, also the schematics of the CDJ-3000 are very interesting to read.
Because of the high payroll costs in Germany, repairs are expensive, usually more than 50 EUR / hour. So many people will give their broken hardware to the recycling facility, I believe most of the thrown away hardware could be repaired for low material costs, but it is often not economical for the customer to have a repair done.
There are some free repair cafes even in Germany, where people will try to repair you device for low/no costs (usually a donation), but that is not very wide spread yet.
Greetings from Berlin, stay safe, Markus
