os update error

do anybody know how to fix an os update error…. can't get into my mpc…. i tried the card reader… and the card have the os up there… i put ver 1.4 to reset the program and still nothing… please help good bless….

how in the world did you upgrade to 1.4 when last official akai update for mpc2500 is 1.24

your best bet is downloading 1.24 and trying to flash with it...worst case if you corrupted onboard flash rom

i mean the 1.24 ver but yea that don't work… and if i crashed the onboard… which i know i probably did…. then what i should toss it and get a new mpc….

if my onboard flash rom is corrupted can i fix it or is my mpc dead? god bless

If it really is corrupt flash ROM boot block, and not some other issue preventing the card reader from working correctly, there is a service procedure to recover the boot block.

It requires a special plug in board that contains the test/service program, and it does not seem to be available to purchase.

You can send it to somewhere like VST Service, who have the test/service board, and they will charge a fee to recover the boot block and reload the OS.

I am wondering if the JIG PC Flash ROM MPC2.5K (AJ-771314J) is available to purchase?

I would like to use it to attempt a boot block recovery, as mentioned in the service manual.

Also, out of interest, is the similar part for the MPC1000 available, JIG PC Flash ROM MPC1K (AJ-771312J)?

Thanks,
Simon

1st check the contrast setting to make sure that’s not the issue (if no display) we charge $75.00 to reflash the boot block and reload the currant OS.
