ripped off?

k i bought my mpc 1000 used of some guy, and there are 2 things wrong with it, when i try to load/save to the memory cardit says "no memory card ! !" and also im trying to update the os, and when i hoook it up to the computer the card doesnt mount and the mpc freezes, i really hope the guy idint sell me a broken mpc

I had the same problem. The card reader has gone bad.

what are my options?

did you try formatting the card?

Your options are return the item or replace the defective drive.

i cant return it, cause i bought it in new york and im now in canada, how much is it to replace the card reader?

us $125

now since i saw that site, i dont know weather to get a new cf slot. or just buy a hardrive. but can i run the os through the hardrive or it can only run on cf cards

You have to have a work cf drive because that is the only weay to upgrade the OS. You shoulld put a hard drive in the mpc for sure! I got a 120 in mine. I have my record collection ripped to the HD. Nice.

what a d!ck im sure he knew it was broken.. damn americans

i live down in mtl west, not like beaconsfeild but like near ndg mo'west

im also worried about ordering a cf slot on the net and recieving it and finding out that wasnt the problem and paying 150$for nothing

Hey, don't blame Americans if you Canadians are too dumb to not thoroughly look over a used device before buying it...

did you check in the slot just to make sure theres nothing in there that doesnt belong? (Broken pin, foreign object)
