MPC200xl
8 outs
Os: "1.2 (July. 15,2004)"
Non hot-swapable CF reader
I bought my mpc2000xl used a few years ago in perfect condition.
It's been good to me.
When I purchase it, it had came with a hot-swapable CF reader in it.
Never had any issues with it until today.
Today I was working on it just like any other day.
I have 2 CF cards which contain a bunch of beats on them (all saved correctly in individual folders containing .aps and .all for each beat)
After 20 minutes of working on it, I turned the machine off so I could remove my CF card and swap it out for a different one. I inserted the other CF card in, and when I tried to load it my mpc suddenly didn't recognise that I have a CF card inserted!
I thought that perhaps that card was bust (which would be odd, as it was working fine last night) so I turned the machine off and inserted the CF card I was initially using. Suddenly it didn't recognise that card either!
Now if I try insert any of my 2 CF cards this is what I'm faced with:
On the load screen the "file" section is blank, "Device" is set to ATAPI, "Size" is blank, and "Type"= ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Did my CF reader suddenly die? Could it be a matter of opening the MPC up, disconnecting the reader, blowing out any dust and reconnecting?
If I need to purchase a new reader, can you guys recommend a particular make?
What is the most reliable, safest reader I can purchase?
Any links to a particular site to purchase from would be great.
I live in Sydney, Australia so it's hard to find parts around here.
Please click the bellow link to view a few photos I took of my screen and reader to better understand the situation.
(All the needles on the reader are straight, so this is not the issue)

Any assistance would mean a lot
Sincerely,
