Hey guys, I don;t have technical knowledge concerning electronics repairs like reading schematics, using a scope or even an MM except to check for continuity. I got 2 DJ mixers, one was sitting on a shelf unused for many years and now doesn;t power on, it worked last time i had used it. The other when I power it on i see all the LED's light up like normal but no sound input or output, Is this something I should attempt to repair or best pay to get them fixed please?

Should I attempt to repair DJ Mixers?

Check your connections & switches on the one that powers up. We tend to overlook the obvious sometimes. Like Regore said, look for any internal (and external!) fuses on the dead unit.
Which mixers are they? If it's something like a nice Rane or Allen & Heath, it's probably worth getting an estimate. Those things are flippin' expensive! If it's an older cheap analog one like a Numark or Behringer, maybe give it away to someone who likes to tinker if you can't figure it out.Co-conspirator in the development of the "CR Gnarly Fidelity Reduction Unit" - Registered Trademark, Patent Pending.

Thanks guys. It's the mixer I am using the Allen and Heath Xone23 DJ mixer and the backup a Numark M1 DJ mixer. Few years ago I had another similar model the Xone 23C model with a similar issue and it had cost me around $200 to repair, I can expect to pay the same for this one too.
My son has an Allen and Heath Mixwizard 3 he wants to sell so right now I am deciding on whether to go with that instead. Thing is I have always believed that a DJ Mixer gives better sound than a mixing board but my buds are saying no, it's the opposite.
i will open up both mixers and report back.
