the right arrow doesnt respond. we took off the acrylic and resoddred it and it worked for about halfway through a beginner song and then stopped responding again. about 2 weeks later we resoderred the wire again it worked for like 2 minutes then just stopped responding. i know its not broken where the soddered wire is. i dont have money to buy a brand new one and i frick love ddr so i wanna get it fixed so if anyone has any idea what the problem could be thatd be great.

The problem is it's a TX1000. I didn't even know those could break from beginner mode usage, I had no idea they were that un-durable.

ok that apsolutely helped me in no way but thanks anyways. i used it for over a year every day and it worked perfect then all of the sudden in the middle of a song one time the right arrow just stopped working.

Most likely residue on the sensor.
When was the last time you cleaned it?

i wiped the sensor off with a damp rag, but then i found out the reason it was working bc the little powerbox thing where the needle things plug in 2 of the needles were broken like halfway off and if i plug it in and keep it in REALLY tight it will start working again. but also my X and O buttons have never worked since i got it and i was just wondering if that has happened to anyone else and if anyone has any idea what it could be.

I too have a TX 1000 pad and the down arrow stopped working. I have so far found out i need to replace the white wire from the down arrow. But i can't figure out how to get inside the pad without tearing it into thousands of tiny splintered peices. If anyone knows how this pad is built and how i can get inside and replace that wire, that would be very helpful!

ive been reading around, and ive been hearing alot that the TX 1000 and 2000 tend to have LOTS of arrow-not responding probs.

Im no expert on this, however, but do replace the foil contacts with sheetmetal
