- Preparation:
- Ensure your Pioneer DJ controller is powered off and disconnected from the mains power supply, USB cable, and any other connected devices.
- Place the controller on a clean, stable, and static-free surface.
- Accessing the Switch:
- Carefully remove the necessary screws from the bottom and/or top casing of your DJ controller to gain access to the internal circuit board where the browse switch is located. Keep track of all screws and their locations.
- Gently separate the casing halves. Be mindful of any ribbon cables or wires connecting the two halves.

- Removing the Old Switch:
- Locate the existing browse switch on the circuit board. It is typically a small, tactile button with a rotary encoder function.
- If the switch is soldered, desolder the old switch carefully using appropriate desoldering tools. If it's a plug-and-play component, gently disconnect its connector or unclip it from its mounting.

- Installing the New Switch:
- Align the new DSX1138 Browse S1703 Replacement Switch with the corresponding pads or connector on the circuit board.
- If soldering, carefully solder the new switch into place, ensuring all pins make good contact and there are no solder bridges. If it's a connector, firmly plug it in or clip it into its mounting.

- Reassembly:
- Carefully reassemble the controller casing, ensuring all cables are properly routed and not pinched.
- Replace all screws, tightening them gently to avoid stripping the threads. Do not overtighten.

- Testing:
- Reconnect the power supply and USB cable to your DJ controller.
- Power on the controller and test the functionality of the new browse switch. Ensure it rotates smoothly and registers presses correctly within your DJ software.
Operating the Browse Switch
The browse switch typically performs two primary functions:
- Rotation: Turning the switch clockwise or counter-clockwise allows you to navigate through lists, tracks, folders, or menu options in your DJ software or controller's display.
- Press: Pressing the switch down (like a button) typically confirms a selection, loads a track, or activates a specific function depending on the context within the software.
Refer to your Pioneer DJ controller's specific user manual for detailed information on how the browse switch interacts with its various functions and your DJ software.
Maintenance and Care
The DSX1138 Browse S1703 Replacement Switch is designed for durability. To ensure its longevity and optimal performance:
- Cleaning: Keep the exterior of your DJ controller clean. If dust or debris accumulates around the switch, use a soft, dry brush or compressed air to gently remove it. Avoid using liquid cleaners directly on the switch.
- Handling: Avoid excessive force when rotating or pressing the switch.
- Storage: When not in use, store your DJ controller in a clean, dry environment, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues after installing the replacement switch, consider the following:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Switch does not respond to rotation or press. | Incorrect installation, loose connection, faulty switch. | Recheck all connections. If soldered, inspect solder joints for cold joints or bridges. Ensure the switch is fully seated. If the issue persists, the switch may be faulty. |
| Switch feels loose or wobbly. | Improper seating or mounting. | Ensure the switch is correctly aligned and secured to the circuit board and/or casing. |
| Intermittent response. | Poor connection, debris. | Clean around the switch with compressed air. Recheck connections. |
| Controller does not power on after reassembly. | Internal cable disconnected, short circuit. | Immediately disconnect power. Reopen the controller and carefully inspect all internal connections, especially power cables and ribbon cables. Ensure no tools or debris are left inside. |
