Hey guys, need a little help here, completely new to this. So I own a Pioneer XDJ 700 and the DC input jack (12V, 2A) has been bent so has a loose connection. Of course Pioneer being Pioneer, in the same fashion as Apple, have made their DC connections different to everyone else's so they're pricier to repair.
This leads me to my question. The part I need to replace is a DKN1649 (https://instrumentalparts.com/jack-dc-ja2001/), but this part is hard to come by in the UK, so my question is would it be alright to simply remove the old jack and solder on a similar, but generic 2.1mm x 5.5mm DC power jack (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sourcingma...ywords=2.1+5.5+dc+jack&qid=1632075892&sr=8-11) and power it with a corresponding generic 12V 2A DC cable??
I'm just wondering, is it alright to use different cables and connectors (corresponding) if at the end of the day the negative and the positive are still correctly soldered and receiving the same power??
