HOW DO FIX MY NUMARK TTX MOTOR?

If you know how to solder its most likely the toshiba chip under the heat sink, here is more in depth, i wrote this up about 3 to 4 years ago

Ciscoel Nino - "since numark fixed thier overheating problems by adding avent under the platter, i think that what is happeing is that our DCMOTOR DRIVER IC (Toshiba TA7259P) has gone bad what i am going to do itorder this, install it and let you know the deal. there only 5.80 apiece and shipping is like 8 dollars. ill get back to you. I amguessing it is sort of like computers CPU, like its got thermal gel/grease on it and all that fun stuff. It is on the Motor's board heres the image

also take your time when installing the chip.
1. its sensitive to static.
2.buy a low heat soldering iron.
3.do each solder point at a time, wait a few seconds for the IC to cool off. then approach the next.
also open your ttx and see what exact IC you need. Mine was a Toshiba TA7259P. Also when you order that, order small tube of thermal paste.

One of my TTX turntables was acting up. I made use of the tutorial found here:

to bypass the optical sensor that was malfunctioning. This seemes to have worked for me thus far. I hope this helps someone else who's been pulling their hair out trying to figure out what to do about this problem

I posted a video before/after the fix if anyone is interested. Link is
