dim screen

could be anything, my mpc 60 was hardly lit up when I got it. and it was made.... uh, 86?

could be a faulty foil, or power surges that do it. Not too sure.

like i said b4, my mpc was built in may 2001.... and from what ive heard, the kid i bought it from never used it, so he sold it to me for 650 . No more fruity loops for me....
