Happy ending:

This morning I bought several switches, I have replaced the break with an identical (except in color) and now the button works like new!

I soldered to the board the new one without difficulty.

total 40 cents (euro)

instead to send the mpc to akai with ups cost 156 euro...

now love a little more my 1K :twisted:

i know, unfortunately is the only reliable solution, the Italian postal service is terrible and often many parcels are lost, i dont want donate my 1k to someone...(700 euro down in wc)
if akai not would have recognized the guarantee would have to pay the return postage ... total 350 euro for replace a **** switch!!!
ups shipping cost too much for me and then the only thing that I could afford was a home-made repair(and luckily the repair is very simple)

end o.t.

mpcstuff.com can suck balls.

vst shipping prices sucks ass
