Hey guys,
Picked up a bargain 2500 and was concerned and sickened as the previous owner smoked a rollup dropping Ash all over the
top of it but for $580 au I couldn't resist!!
Sadly there seems to be a few issues with the oldgirl, I have never owned an mpc before so theres a high possibility of me being an idiot!!
firstly the screen fades to nothing after an hour, no biggie I want the bigger screen at some point anyway. Any cheap fixes in the meantime?
Pads
When Im naming samples hitting "O, G or M" inputs the same gobbledygook "OGR_(UU" or something like that, as well when I'm in program screen it seems these pads turn off after a millisecond or so, almost like a note off message.
I did a full factory reset to ensure that there were no chokegroups etc going on, could it be another setting or are the pads just dying? Could it be the sensors need a clean??
I also put jjos free on to see if it was a software issue but I get the same random letters.
Upgrades
I would like to restore this beast back to prime glory. I'm pretty set on a bug screen and fat pads. In guessing that a hardrive and memory upgrades are the other two essentials? Anything else I'm missing??
Cheers!
