Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

Hi guys,
I've got a problem with my mpc2000XL. After half an hour/an hour that mpc is on, when i play the pad i hear a noise/rustle. A guy that had a similar problem said me that he changed a condenser and he solved the problem. The problem is that i don't know what condenser i should change.I hope that this is a typical problem of the mpc and someone could help me..

I haven't had the same issue yet, but I'd like to know the solution for it.
Capacitors (Condensers) are usually the first electrical parts to worn out (they are kind of like rechargeable batteries), so it is quite possible that there's worn out capacitors on your MPC-2000XL that causing the issue.

For the info, this is how caps look like;

And old, near-end-of-life cap usually looks expanded, or top is popped up a bit, so you can find which cap should be replaced.
