I recently bought an metal encoder, APL part EC12E24204A2. The plastic one in mine was ****.
I finished fitting it in but this new one is completely unresponsive.
The steps I took were simple enough, I took the MPC apart, desoldered the old plastic one out and put the new one in before soldering it into place. Then reattached the wires etc and it was back how it was before with the new metal encoder. Did I miss anything?
Were there any other pieces I should have bought before fitting this in?
I did do a fairly slopy job of desoldering, is it possible this is just a problem with the soldering job?
I'm still using the original PCB board, is the upgraded one from MPC Stuff really necessary for this to work? Rather not spend the money if it ain't.
Help'd be appreciated, thanks
