MPC4000 cleaning, repair and improvements

now i wait 24hours correct? then reassemble / test

I'm on the edge of my seat watching this thread...

Lol Coz
Horseclick: 24h is for standard cure adhesive. look the cure time for the one you have used.
3/4 hours can be enough for this thickness.

THE EXCESS I LEFT TO CHECK WHEN DRY,

ITS STILL ALITTLE SOFT IN CENTER WILL WAIT 1-2 HOURS THEN RECHECK

great

SCREWED IT ALL BACK IN,

TIME TO TEST





WORKING LIEK A CHAMP,

NOW ITS TIME TO PUT HER BACK TOGETHER.

tHAKN YOU FRANK, THE HARDEST PART REGARDING INSTALL FOLKS IS UNSCREWWING EVERYTHING, AND THE SILICON APPLICATION TO HOLD THE LEDS IN PLACE IS A BIT TEDIOUS.

OUT OF ALL MY MPCS THGE 4K IS A PAIN TO DISAASEBLE.

THE LIGHT IE STREGNTH IS ABOUT 2.5 TIMES BRIGHTER THEN MY NOW BROKEN TUBE, SO THESE LEDS SHOULD LAST ME THE LIFETIME OF THIS MPC.

FRANK WHERE CAN PEOPLE PURCHASE THESE UNITS AS I WAANT TO SPREAD THE WORD NOW TO OTHERS.

ANY QUESTIONS GUYS PLEASE ASK.

well it's a good new !! \o/
i think to start a poll to know how many people are interested and where they are because the shipping fees to US is very, very, verrrry expensive! at least 20 euros.

so the best will be to find someone to dispatch units from the US.

MPC Stuff charge plenty for their gear and shipping so I doubt anyone will mind paying 20 euros.

paying the same price of postage fees as the goods in the box could be a problem I think

ANY QUESTIONS GUYS PLEASE ASK

Can you adjust the contrast from the knob on the screen?

40 euros for a machine that cost 3 grand when it came out is a small price to pay.

I'm ok with the dim screen on mine because I work in low light (plus I've got a spare), but I'm sure these will sell out quick.

YES, CONTRAST IS ADJUSTABLE, BRIGHTNESS FRANK SET MINE TO OPTIMAL BRIGHTNESS/LONGEVITY, BUT HE DID SAY YOU CAN DIM/MAKE IT BRIGHTER VIA THE



IF YOU WERE MORE DIY TYPE PERSON FRANK DID SAY YOU CAN DRILL A HOLE ON BACK PLASTIC TO SET THIS KNOB EASIER FROM THE REAR.

Im very impressed with this project . GOOD JOB!


In a perfect world there would be a brightness adjustment knob with push on off like the 3000..

Von, you can't read the lcd if there's no backlight. But you can replace the smd trimmer by a wired one on the lcd case if you want.

i have basically taken the entire day to do this, being a novice and being really careful yet i still made a crucial mistake, luckily frank pointed it out and all was not lost.

i would suggest people take there time and be really careful the cf tube is really fragile and i broke it without even noticing.

the screens backlight now is superb, its not blindingly bright but it is bright and looks like i have a brand new display in there,

my main reason as to why to upgrade, is longevity>>these leds should last forever but my cf would have croaked soon
