Bought a 2004 MPC 1000 a few weeks ago everything was going ok until last night when the screen suddenly went yellow all over and I can barely make out any detail at all.
Is it f***ed or is there an adjustment I can make?
Do I need to buy a new screen? Where from? How much? I’m in the UK.
Very disappointing if I’ve got to replace it. :fku:

Good to know. Thanks for sharing the solution. I would have freaked out if I saw that.

Contrast settings is in every mpc manual.

Except the 3K manual just says

adjusting the LCD CONTRAST control.
and it doesn't mention you click the contrast knob down to turn on the backlight. :? :? :?
