Turned on my mpc for the first time in a while and it's started doing this at startup.
Either that or just a blank green screen.
I've tried reseating cables etc.
I'm guessing something's fried.
Anyone got any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks

Remove face cover.

Disconnect pads and PCB's.

Try powering up with portions of machine disconnected. Try to isolate the problem to a particular pcb board. Kind of how we troubleshoot PC's. We try booting with JUST the motherboard, then connect a hard drive, then connect peripherals.

Try a hard reset. Reinstall operating system.

Anyone here remember how to boot into test mode?

Thanks.
Yeah i'll give it a shot, i took it apart and disconnected and reconnected most things and couldnt get beyond either a blank green screen or this, can't get far enough to reinstall software or boot in different modes.
I wasnt very systematic though, had been drinking coffee and was just tearing shit apart....
will give it another go.
