My MPC is Dead...!!!

I don't know what the problem is, it was working just fine the other day. Today is Sunday the 19th, about 9:53 in the morn, and my MPC seems to have passed on to another life yesterday around 7:30 PM, the time i turned it on to go to work. The last time i used it before that was Thursday evening, everything was working just fine at that time. The issue is this, i load up sounds, about 5 to 6 programs, but when i go back to the main screen and hit the pads---NOTHING! No sounds, no hits, no blips, no nothing. So my first thought is that the pads were completely gone on this thing, but, i used it just yesterday once i couldn't get any internal sounds to work to completely sequence my Proteus, no problems with that at all. So i now know it's not a problem with the pads, but something internal on the MP. I'm currently running OS 3.06. If anyone has any idea as to what the issue may be, i would greatly appreciate any help/suggestions as to how to remedy this life altering event, i would be highly greatful to you... Thanks in advance.

hey bro try opening it up and making sure the ram and HD are secure (if you have them) let us know from there.

It sounds like the "pad to internal sound" setting has been turned to off:

01. Select the MIDI/SYNC mode by pressing the [MODE]
key and hitting the [PAD 9] (MIDI/SYNC).
02. Press the [F1] (MIDI) key.
03. Select the “Pad to internal sound” field and use the
DATA wheel to select “ON” .

My man 50 grand, that was the problem, the pad to internal sound was turned off. Switched it back real quick and now the kid is back in business. Silly me, i started to pull my hair out over this matter, thanks for the life raft my man... I do appreciate your help.
