MPC5000 reviews, bug reports and fellow user support on the most recent standalone, hardware MPC from Akai

Well I've had my MPC 5000 a part and checked all the wiring connections which all look good.
The problem I now have is pads 9, 10, 11, & 12 don’t function correctly, if I hit pads I can’t trigger sounds or access any functions with mode button.
But what I have found is that when I use the note repeat button it triggers above pads but only these pads, but also when using note repeat if pads are hit sound is being triggered with note on & off information. I found this out when recording on all banks which again records above pads in banks A, B, C & D. And they all record but note repeat is only on these pads.
I can’t access pad 9 Other function to check pad sincerity.
I have tried installing OS2 again but still have above fault, reset back to factory setting but still same fault.
I was wondering if anybody else has had this problem???
I have emailed Akai but they can only say take it to a dealer, to me this fault looks like software.

Thank you again & hopefully my loved MPC will be back up & running soon.

If the pads that are not working are all in a row it could be a problem with the pad sensors.
