Posts about pad sensors on this board generally agree that MPC 2k, xl, 2500, 4k use identical sensors and the MPD16‘s are identical to the 2k.
So I got an MPD16 (in top condition) to slaughter it and save on shipping and tax...
Opened the 4k, removed the pad holder chassis and couldn‘t believe the size of the flat cable
Twice as wide the the MPD‘s ribbon
Yes, electrically both are identical, same lines, but sometimes size does matter...
At least the 4k has brand new pads now (which doesn‘t change a thing, except they damp case noise slightly better)
If anyone has experience with remove of the sensor pad and the glue I‘d appreciate a hint.
Plan is to heat it up from the bottom to enable lifting and then try acetone or isopropanol (on an edge part first).
cheers, Tom
