Q What's up with my MPC 3000

Guys,..please
The Rec.Play.Overdub. BUTTONS are dead , I don't know what I do to it but it happened. But the strange thing is ,when I put stuff in STEP EDIT
the OVERDUB goes on,...(you tell me) ,but that's it ,..no RECORD,.. nothiI hope it's something simple I can fix ,if not ....
Hope anybody could figure this out for me
Thanks in advance

If you can go into these modes with a footswitch or in step edit, there is nothing wrong with the machine. Its the buttons not making good contact.
I had the same problem with my 3Kle awhile back.
Place your finger on one of the buttons and rock it back and forth and from side to side. It will eventually make contact. You may need some new buttons.

So just beat (press) on the buttons a few times..
Hope this works for me
Thank you ,Sir... for taking the time yo reply

HaHa, thats funny. Glad it worked for you. Mine has been working fine since I beat the hell out of it a couple of months ago. Actually I just slapped it around a little bit. It's funny but my 3k seems to be a little bit spoiled sometimes compared to my 60. Kinda like my ex-wife.
