I don’t think he ever seen a mpc before he’s probly used to fixing other things so
Now I’m wondering should I still try to fix it ? The local long and mcquade quoted me 150$ to ship it to Akai for diagnostics
The akai customer support also told me to contact mpcstuff.com and gave me a list of all their other authorized repair shops
I am quite devastated tbh
Right so, first things first:
EVERTHING IS REPAIRABLE - it just depends on the cost you want to invest. Don't let that repair shop tell you anything different - he's obviously out of his league and doesn't want to go through the effort to repair it. So, either buck up and send it to an authorized repair shop and pay to have to repaired, wait for the boards to become available at MPC Stuff and do it yourself/pay a repair shop that actually knows computers, or eat a $2300 loss. Those are your choices. Simples. Yeah, it sucks - but it is what it is. Alternatively, if your repair tab is starting to approach $700-$800 USD, maybe just buck up and chalk it as a loss and buy a brand new MPC One instead.
