Sometimes when I power on my mpc1k the usual start up screen and animations come up but then it starts to fade away.
I've noticed it happen when it's cold in my room or I've been using it alot.
Do I need a new LCD?
Bought it recently, used from a Guitar Center.

You could try a new screen. That's what I would replace first.

Hi!
I´m sorry for bringing this old topic back up, but this is the only one I´ve found talking about the problem I´m having right now.
Did you find a solution for this? Did changing the screen solve it, or was it an electrical problem?
I´ve opened my mpc 1000 looking for a bad condenser but they all seem to be fine.

I'd contact mpcstuff or jazzcat and ask first before buying anything. Just do a google search on those if they're not familiar to you.

313, I don´t know if you can get just one from that page, I linked there because mpcstuff.com doesn´t have a photo of the part.

Heyy m:t:c thanks, I didn´t know about Jazzcat, I´m going to write him, see if he knows.

Thanks!
Whenever I find the solution I´ll post it here

Heyyyy thank you guys, problem solved! I asked Jazzcat and mpcstuff.com and they both recommended changing the lcd, since it was the cheapest thing that could be causing the problem. After changing it for a new one everything works great.
Thanks! ! !
