Hi guys,

I know there is some topics about it but I can't solve my problem. Let me explain.

A friend of mine send me his MPC3000 which is functional but when I receive it, turn it on, all the lights are red and the screen work because I see some light, but nothing writing on.

I check some ribbons but i'm a basic user and I don't know exactly what to check.

Can you give me some advices about it ? What ribbons to check etc?

All the best,

I maybe able to help and had a similar issue. Check the fuses and if one of them are blown that is the answer. If isn't then not sure what can cause the issue. Oh ! Check the power supply too if it is right. I might be wrong but suggestions.

Yes... I wonder how people who had this problem went out of it... If there is anybody out there?
In case not, I think I'm going to see a specialist, but it is generally expensive.
Thanks for you answer anyway man.

Hello Everybody !!

I have the same issue, all the LEDs on the front panel are lit, the PSU has already been checked by my local tech and the screen turns on but nothing is written on it. It's a LED display with a blue backlight. Can somebody help me please, I have a record to finish and all my beats are made on my dear MPC3k.

Regards

Resolder the large capacitors on the power supply - they vibrate and the solder connections break after a long time of use - I do this on every 60 or 3k I repair and it fixes a lot of problems like this. Of course it could be any number of other issues but I would do this anyway.
