Liquid Spill

Okay. I don't see where it posted so I'll try again. I've spilled on my MPC on the screen and it leaked into the motherboard right under the function keys. has anybody had to dry your motherboard. if so is there a particular process? i've taken off my skin and my board is exposed to dry. my screen comes on but it's just light and no letters or graphic. i know that a lot of you have done this but what are the remedies. please. i can't live without. please pm me. please.

I wouldn't be so sure about that... I think a lot of people in here dont take the risk of allowing liquids anywhere near their MPC.... But I could be wrong.... I personally set my drinks no less than 3 feet away from the MPC and will never let ANYONE put drinks around it at all.

sorry about that man, That sounds like a **** of a problem. I have never seen a thread about this here... I'm curious to see how this is fixed.

What kind of liquid was it?

You need to get it repaired by a qualified technician.

Have a look at Feline's post in this thread: http://www.mpc-forums.com/viewtopic.php?t=48363

Sorry to hear about it.

wine.

That doesn't sound too good.

Try buying some servisol contact cleaner and clean the area in question with cotton wool or a soft cloth, Lets hope it was red wine that way at least you'll see it dry

your fukked

Damn thats ****............ .

Usually taking the unit apart, ( DO NOT TURN IT ON!!!) rempving the circuit board affected and cleansing it with club soda and letting it dry for a few days ( Do not drench it just dabs will remove the residue ) on DJ mixers does the trick . Call www.vstservice.com and let them know of your problem first and follow their suggestions first. ...

I used electronic cleaner on my TR 808 and now the lights are always on. I do not reccomend cleaner.

COSINE with the guys above. Don't use 'cleaner' even if it says 'for electronics'. All that means is that it's anti-static and good on plastics.

The guy who said servitol or whatever? Contact cleaner? That's good stuff. But also there are similar products that are for actual chips and motherboards, as contact cleaners contain lubricants, which you don't need in there. So the 'gold can' contact cleaner, etc, not so good, but all those companies make another, very similar product that does not contain the lubricants. You wanna take the non-lubricant kind of cleaner and douse that mutherf**ker until it drips. Pat dry with lint free cloth and let air dry in a clean place for like a day.

Also, you could go ghetto and get 99.99% Dry Alchohol.
You open that bi*ch up, tilt it over the sink, and pour a nice stream of
dry alchohol over the whole mother board, until the crap rinses off.
Then you pat dry in the manner he explained, and don't use it for like two days. I do not guarantee results with this method, and I'm not responsible
for the death of your machine. Im just saying, if you bring it to a tech, he's gonna use one or both of the above methods.

Of course, its redundant...BUT KEEP THE LIQUIDS AWAY FROM YOUR WORK AREA MAN!!

I recommended servisol

ps

I do repairs/servicing 4 a living...

I recomend keeping food & liquids away from all equipment at all times to avoid such accidents.

Was I way off? I guess I have an add-on question about
the lubricant issue, for instance I have that 'gold cleaner'
whatever, you know, the consumer sh**. But this
particular contact cleaner has a lubricant, and then
there are other ones without that. Can I really spray
cleaner/lubricant on computer chips, or is servisol a
different animal altogether?

You should only stick to alcohol based contact cleaners which are manufactured especially for electrical component use, Servisol is no.1 and is the most widely used cleaner in the service industry. It evaporates in seconds so does not destroy chips and other sensitive electrical parts, it cleans contacts and loose dirt residue from circuit boards and contacts.

I am not too sure about gold cleaner as I personally have not encountered it.

Thanks Jazz.
