Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

My mpc2000 has developed the problem of freezing quite frequently when I move the jog wheel.
It doesn't do it all the time, but particulary whenever I move the jog wheel quite fast.

I have tried removing and cleaning the ram
And I have tried it without any Ram chips in
And I have tried installing a fresh copy of the operating system

It doesnt give a error code, it just freezes while playing a pattern and non of the buttons work, so I just have to turn it off and back on again.

Just hoping any of you might have any advice on fixing this problem.
Thanks.

Sounds like bad electrical connection somewhere internally.
Open up your MPC and check the solder connections at the jog wheel or around that area.

did you find any more leads on the situation? I know that short samples like hi hats can freeze up the 2k classic, but that causes an actual error screen.
