Hmmm, what I'd do is put all the knobs/settings to default, check all your cables, make sure nothing is lose. Make sure your turntable is grounded properly as well. Ummm that's all I can think of now.

Taken from http://www.mta.ca/pub/learn2dj/turntables.html

"The reason that your turntables have a grounding wire is that an immense amount of static electricity is built up from the constantly rotating wire"

So make sure your ground wire is connected to your mixer or amp.

Well replacing it takes a bit of work, depending on your turntable, you will probably have to do some surgery.

I looked around the web a bit, and found this

This should give you an idea of what needs to be done.

About the ground wire, just check out an electronics store or a place that specializes in musical equipment.
