Enjoy!!!

Peace!!!

P.S. Thank you to all of you guys out there for providing tips and tricks that i used to fix my baby!!! THANX!!!

Shit.. you really took that thing apart. And I thought I was brave changing my backlight.. Really interesting pictures!

Nice pictures! It's interesting to see the 60 dismantled like that...

Is this something you've done before, or you just took alot of pictures before dismantling and just went for it? I just bought another mpc and was told it was from a smoke free studio- which is not true... as a non-smoker it really bugs me so I'd like to do some clean up on it- any pointers you can give would be appreciated

Yo b.

It was my first MPC total DIY job - so yeah i've just took some photos and went for it...

There is only two things that i can say - take your time....and make sure you've got all screw drivers you'll need...

P.S. When I got my MPC it was smelling of fags straight out of the box...man it took lots of detergent to clean up this beast

Thanks for the advice- what did you use to clean it all? Anything in particular?

Did you have many headaches getting it all back together and functioning? I can imagine myself taking mine apart fine, putting it back together and then something doesn't work...

You welcome!

To clean? Mr. Muscle + scrap pot + hot water (shower room)

No b.
No stress as long as you have a bit of an idea on what are you doing

I had bit of fun with fitting in the screen the right way around, after backlit DIY (apart this was easy peasy)

Good luck with yours....

dope! thanks for taking the time to show peeps this! big up

thanks for documenting your mpc 60 surgery!

Great job. Thanks for posting this!

FOR CLEANING ANYTHING ELECTRONIC, USE ISOPROP. ACHOHOL!

Definitely not a job for the weak at heart...I am afraid I will have to do the same to my mpc-60...when I got mine it had some issues...opened it up, cleaned the pads and some of the contacts and switched the disk drive, vacuumed out the cobwebs and some bugs and it came back to life...but I know it needs some more tlc...your photos will definitely help...Thanks!!!
