player" ?
This one is from a customer who's lost his user guide. If you go to DJ
Tech's website, even though the unit is only a few years old, they list it
as 'legacy' and only have a basic spec listed for download - no manuals.
Needless to say, they don't respond to requests for help in this regard.
The problem with the unit is that when you power it up, ( the soft power
button works ok at this time), the message "UpdateUI--" appears in
the left window. Anyone know what exactly it's trying to tell us, and
whether it's correctable with a master reset or something ? I'm guessing
that the "UI" bit might be User Interface ?? Beyond this initial message, it
does nothing, and doesn't respond to any controls, including the power
button. The only way to then get it to power back off, is to remove power
from the wall wart.

With that name, it sounds as if was manufactured by Craptronics, Ltd.

That proves it.

Forgive me... When you turn it on. What ever happened to simple language?

If the unit has a reset button, I'd do a type-1 hard reset -- stick a pin in
the hole (or whatever). If that doesn't fix it, I'd do a type-2 hard
reset -- throw it a metal trashcan with as much force as possible. Or a
type-3 -- pretend you're Rumpelstiltskin and jump up and down on it in great
fury.

Maybe it's stuck in the middle of loading data from non-volatile into
volatile ram?

Sometimes archive.org has legacy copies of older websites with the then
current user manuals

There's a website -- I forget the name -- that has tens of thousands of
manuals available at low cost.

Could it be that there is a noisy power line wreaking havoc with the
uPc? try another psu.
beyond that, it's schematics-and-scope time, or you're buggered...

Sadly, the power supply output is dead clean. Being unable to solicit even
an acknowledgement from the manufacturer, even though they have a good web
presence with an invitation to "contact us" on their site, we have now
returned it to the owner, with a detailed explanation as to why we have not
been able to fix it. Of course, he will never buy one of their products
again ...
