Strange Problem, Need Help...

I just bought a used MPC 5000 and the pads are not responding (well, sorta). If I press note repeat I hear a repeating note. If I hold note repeat and press a pad I can trigger sounds on any of the pads, however, the initial repeating not is still repeating as well.

Also, if I press the mode button I cannot enter any of the pages by pressing any of the pads?

Can anyone help me with this? Let me know if I need to provide more info.

This using is running OS 2.

Probably need new pads and sensors

Always reset a new 'used' machine immediately, otherwise you can be working with the previous owners settings and waste a lot of time scratching your head. Once you've done a reset, you know that strange behaviour can be attributed to a fault or issue of some kind.

How to reset an MPC5000? Now that I do not know, the manual may provide the answer...

This Might sound Strange....
take the front plate off
take rubber pads off
you will see the sensors
take a razor and splice through the top and bottom.. but be sure not to cut the circuit you have to be really careful... i myself thought this was strange but i did it by watching a youtube tutorial
and my mpc works perfect now
