mode button and right button making problems

Hello,

2 of my buttons on my mpc1000 are starting to make trouble.
Can I somehow fix this on my own?
I still have warranty but dont want it to be gone for some weeks, and I have JJOS on it,
i fear that they switch the unit and I have to repurchase jjos.


greetings

Its most likely a Tact Switch problem, which is very common as NuKai are using cheap switches.
I used to think it was the OS reading the buttons slowly or something like that too to begin with.

One solution that forum users keep mentioning is to open up the box and spray DeOxit into the switch, then work it in a bit. I don't know how long lasting or effective this is and would like to hear from anyone who's tried this.

The other method:-

Both will effect the warranty, but, like you say, if you send it back and they replace it with a new one then you'll have to re-purchase JJOs as its machine specific.

Its a tricky one.

Its long lasting and effective. My buttons started getting stiff over a year and a half ago, and my sliders started to act funny (jumpy, inconsistent, they developed a mind of their own lol) after the MP had been sitting for about 4 months. Deoxit fixed both of those issues and I haven't had a problem since.

The trick with the tact switches is that you have to use deoxit as soon as you notice the buttons are getting stiff. If you keep going, eventually the tact switches will wear out and at that point deoxit is no good.

Cheers for that MP3. I've passed on your info to the 2500 thread, I'm sure its going to be very appreciated.
