I've got some serious trouble with my trust mpc3000. It's like it presses the start and stop buttons itself.

Please check this little video i made to show the problem:

this happens right from the start. it also happens after i turn it on without any other cable connections (midi, scsci, outputs, inputs). It's neither possible to browse through the menu functions, nor to play a beat without interruptions of the machine. i had this trouble nearly two month ago. then it disappeared till today :-(

I would be very happy if anybody has an idea what happend to my beloved machine to behave like that.

thank you very much for your thoughts and ideas!

@ JUKE 179r // yeah! but what is he sayin'?
@ Wal Martian // I opend the mpc and looked for loose parts, connections, cables and strange things on the boards ... I'm not good in those technical things, but as far as i know i couldn't find something odd looking :-(

any other suggestions? does anybody know a good service (maybe in germany)?
