Default Pioneer CDJ-1000 Mk3 ...

Anyone know if this pro DJ unit has a mode whereby the button
function-sensitive backlighting can be turned off ? I've not seen a Mk3
before, and don't have the manual for it. The one that I've just fixed was
in for a mechanical problem on the deck, which was straightforward enough.
All of the buttons work and do as they should, but none light up when
pressed. The "Vinyl - CDJ" indicators don't light either, although the
central jog display correctly shows "Vinyl" or nothing, when the button is
operated. There's so many different LEDs involved here, that it seems
unlikely that there is any 'fault' as such, and the job ticket doesn't
mention any such problem, so I'm wondering if a soft switch-off function has
been put in, to stop the console looking too 'busy' in the dark, if some DJs
prefer it that way. Or possibly I suppose, if all the LEDs are taken up to
some common supply rail that's just for them, there might be some little
wire ended or sm fuse, as Pioneer are so fond of using in '1000s ?? Anyone
know ?
