One of my Pioneer CDJ-500S' is driving me nuts! When I switch it on the lid just pops up, and when I close it it just keeps poping back up all the freakin' time!

After a while of torturing and pressing all the step, cue and play-buttons it finally reads the CD...same shit starting over again when I put another CD in...and it just keeps getting worse...I was just in the middle of a perfect set when this piece of shit wouldn't read my CD and everything was ruined...

Has anyone of you had the same problem, and what did you do about it?
(And PLEASE spare me the "Get a pair of Technics 1200's instead" posts...)

Thanks in advance...

the 500's are kinda old but pioneer builds there stuff good, what id sugest is get a new deck (: but thats kinda exspensive so yea contact pioneer (as long as you bought it from a authorized dealer) and it should still be under warinty

Well, these are over three years old, so the warinty only lasts a year...
