I put Thick pads on mpc 2500 (JJOS 3.09) working fine until now.
Pad sensor fades out while playing chopped samples in loops. Also causes sound on pads to disappear, and MODE functions do not work at all.
Press Mode, light blinks. But no pad function will work . Only buttons work.

I’ve researched google, and here. Sound pad replacement is recommended. I did the factory reset.
(However JJOS 3.09 still loads). I opened the unit to see which of 2 types of sensor pads I need.
Did test with cover off, power on, touched sensors and they worked again. MODE functions also.
Put it all back together, played chopped samples, and yet again, the sounds fades, disappeared, and MODE functions don’t work again.. same exact issues!!
I also noticed while pressing the empty sounding pads the screen dims and comes back, depending on which pads I press. :WTF:

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated
