Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

Hi there!

I just bought an 8 out on ebay, put it in my MPC - connection to p340...
then turned it on...only the "wait" display showed up. Then i turned the connector 180° and the MPC started as usual.
BUT:
- no more output signal
- input signal freezes and sounds totally distorted
- none of the pads reacts
- 16 levels button doesn't work as well

I already pulled the 8 out card off, reinstalled OS 1.20, but no changes...any suggestions? Or can I throw it out the window? :cry:

That is weird.
If nothing responds anymore, maybe you didn't reconnect the small flat cable coming from under the pads to the main board?

I've installed several 8 out on different MPCs and it's quite straight forward.

If everything is well connected and you still have the problem, maybe your 8 out board is faulty...

Please post a picture showing how you have the cables plugged into the motherboard as well as a picture of the cable attacked to the 8-output expansion.

Also make sure the voltage regulator that is installed on the 8-output board is not twisted and shorting out.

The majority of the cables for the 8-output expansions are keyed so they should only be able to be installed in one direction. Curious to how you are able to reverse it.
