Help! Undo Seq Button broke!

Hi, first of all, thank you for the help and support.


My Undo Seq button broke, i dont have any experience in replacing any of my mpc parts, this is the first button that got broken.

I will apreciate if you tell me where or how can I replace or fix my dead button , THANKS!

You don't say which country you are in but, try http://www.mpcstuff.com/
They may be able to help you.
You will probably have to solder in the replacement, unless it's just the plastic cap that is broken.
More info next time please.

In the meantime I suggest you don't make any mistakes when sequencing.....



....J/K

Thank you. Im outside the US but I know they can ship outside, the problem is that I checked the webpage and the item is out of stock! http://www.mpcstuff.com/clear-small-button-for-mpc.html


I dont know what to do! =(

Do you know another option??


The red light its working fine and the button works if I push it hard SEVERAL times, but its still broken , I dont want to be using it like that.

The only option that im thinking about is to take one of the "AFTER" buttons in the Qlink (because i never use it) or maybe sacrifice my "D" pad bank button and use it to replace the UNDO SEQ button. Is this possible?

I appreciate your support!

,,,I´ve got same problems with MODE, MAIN, etc,... Buttons...


...perhaps I´ll first try to resolder the contacts,.... I hope this works for me,...

Did anyone tried this before, instead of replacing the buttons?

I can not believe that all Buttons are that bad

It can be either the tact switch or the actual button, open up the MPC and remove the plastic button to determine.

Resoldering will not fix the problem. They are known for failure. The tact switches died. It happens to all of them. When It happened to me I said F it and replaced them all. Problem solved.

..bad news.... hm,... I´ll have a look into the mpc tomorrow,... but it´s real bad if those switches are that crappy

Thx for fast answer

Akai is bad...

Very, very bad...

Thanks for the replys, i have one more question: In case that the problem with my Undo Seq Button its the TACT SWITCH, where or how can i replace it?

thanks

you can order tact switches from ebay. I paid like $4 for 20. They will have to be de-soldered and re-soldered into the board. Its actually pretty easy.

Are there high quality tact switches, or are they all the same? I've replaced several tact switches, and it really isn't a big deal. You do need to know how to solder though. Luckily, I have a brother who is an electronics wizard, so I can get mine replaced with just a little begging. I would be willing to pay a bit more for tact switches that lasted longer though... Anyone know?

The ones I got from ebay had no name but I know that I havent had to redo any of those. They actually lasted longer than those that came with the 1k.

what I did was just took a button that I never use like full level or D pad bank, you can always poke the button with a tooth pick if you need to use it in the future
