Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By reubenreuben Mon Mar 16, 2015 10:50 pm
I bought my MPC 2000 recently off gumtree from a guy in london and as i was staying in london at the time i made a coupla beats there and all was good+working fine. when i travelled on the train home i carried the mpc in a bag with no extra padding. since it's been back at my home it freezes almost every time i use it. it doesn't freeze instantly after turning on - usually it happens after about 10 mins into using it but it's always pretty random. it often happens whilst i'm adjusting a parameter. as i said there doesn't really seem to be any pattern to the crashes as they always happen at random times, but it could be something i knocked when travelling home with it, as it only started crashing after that. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and/or would know of any solutions.
thanks you!
reuben.

I bet the RAM came loose. You need to open the unit and reseat the RAM. Also reseat the ribbon cables. The control board cable could've got loose as well.

What this guy said. Something probably got loose while carrying it.
