XDJ-RX master and booth outputs clipping and distorted at all volumes

I went winter camping/djing this weekend in some pretty bad conditions, dew, freezing dew, temperature wings between 10 degrees F and 50 degrees F.  everything was getting ice on it. Lesson learned!   Before I could play my set, my master and booth outputs failed to output any sound.  everythign else was working perfectly, recording to USB, master and cue headphone, filter FX, master FX everything.  Went home, opened it up, didn't find any obvious damage internally, but disconnected everything and laid it out in a warm air conditioned room to dry.  reassembled and the master output started to put out some sound, but it was clipping at anything above very low volumes.  let it play on loop for 20 minutes to see what happened, and the sound got worse and worse, until ANY sound being output was a distorted mess, at any volume.   

 

What part do I need to buy?  Jack2 assembly?  motherboard???

I've used Pioneer DJ gear in temps as low as -40ºC -- it wasn't pretty, but so long as you don't allow any condensation build-up, it may still work! The worst was the headphone coil being rigid and not flexible as we're used to!

Unfortunately it sounds like some components may have suffered from the temperature swings - my recommendation would be for you to contact Pioneer DJ technical support in your region to have your XDJ-RX inspected and/or serviced.
