Cleaning the contacts on the 3000

Can I get some advice from the OGs on how to clean the contacts on this beast? One of the command buttons is not working every single time I push it. Sometimes I have to push it twice.

You can try rubbing alcohol, but it's likely that the tactile switch is nearing the end of its life. replace it!

Thanks Hunter,
Is there an affordable way to replace the switch?

I swear by These

To Wash/Clean:
Pure Electronics Contact Cleaner (buy at Fry's)
Caig Val-U Contact Cleaner

To Condition, De-OX and Protect.
DeoxIT Contact Cleaner

DeoxIT Gold G5 Contact Conditioner
http://www.amazon.com/CAIG-DeoxIT-Spray ... pd_cp_MI_2


These are all I use.

I use the Pure Electronics to wash down and the Deoxit after. Cleaner then Conditioner.

I refurbished 4 MPC's. 3 of which had sticking buttons. 2 MPC 60's and a Blue/Red MPC 1000.
My cleaning Method Brought all of them back to life without me having to solder in new tact switches.

Take the MPC 60 apart, and Spray the Tact Switches Directly. Underneath the Buttons. Get all in the Crevasses.

Heres a Cleaning Job I did on MY 60

Looks nice and clean!

Good picture!

I also use the deoxit for any knobs and sliders -- it does wonders on scratchy pots.

Thanks and No Problem Peeps.

Heres what I used to clean the buttons.
I also used it for
The Grey 60 and 3k Pads. Brought them back from the dead.
MP60 Arm Rest
MP60II Body to Remove Old Stickers and Grime safely.
Front of the Akai s950 to remove that grime that couldn't come off with a regular cleaner.

Fantastik Orange Action All-Purpose Cleaner



The great thing about this is that its a natural cleaner that will not remove any Lettering or
**** up the Plastic/Rubber/Metal/Paint of your MPC. Tried and True.
