Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone could help me deal with a recent issue with my (usually) trusty MPC 2500. It won't load up anymore- it freezes on the "...128MB ram installed" screen after I turn it on.
I haven't changed anything and it is only used in my home studio. I bought it new in the late 2000s and has never had any issues.
Andy Avgousti kindly responded to an email with the following:
"I assume your issue is related to the RAM, its either gone bad or has somehow become unseated in the RAM slot. I would take it out and reboot, see if that fixes the issue. If it does, reseat the RAM, make sure it is pushed in correctly. If the problem persists, try new RAM. But perhaps forum members will have other ideas so do post it up."
I tried reseating the RAM but no improvement. Before I go and buy more RAM does anyone else have any ideas?
Cheers!
