MPC recovered from an internal error

Hi.

I get this error every time I powerup or restart the mpc live 2. The battery Ran out once and after that this error.

Can't upgrade firmware and can't put The mpc into a controller mode so I can't use it with ableton and can't Access The 1tb Internal SSD I installed.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Would changing the internal micro SD help me?

It's not the drive since It gives the same error whether the internal SSD is attached or not.

And then what? How are you going to flash it with the OS? You need to contact AKAI's customer service.

Dunno if the MPC2 live can run without battery (on a power source of course).
But the battery may have experienced deep discharge, which literally kills it.
In that case any charging attempt from the OS will fail.
So I‘d disconnect the internal battery and try to boot without....

I mean I sure can use it and theres nothing wrong with The battery. The problem is the Internal error. Now a dude on Reddit Said that the Internal memory is on an SD micro card attached to the pcb inside and that theres a switch to force the mpc to rewrite the internal memory so I guess Ill take my chances and throw a new 64gb in formatted as exdos and see it the error is on the internal SD card and this may fix it... That's it for the warranty...

Swapped The Internal micro SD card to no help. Mpc added the Internal folders to the already exfat formatted Samsung 65Gb micro SD card so in that way it was a success. Didn't cure the problem so it sure is a PCB problem.

Do not format it as exfat - use EXT4 (ideal), FAT32 (second to best compatibility) OR NTFS. exfat has least compatibility with linux where it doesn't allow symlinking and perform certain operations on files (for example write protecting them via "chattr"). Altough it's not forbidden (linux recognize this filesystem without problems) it might cause some problems down the line in the future, for example if developers decide to use certain functions that are not supported by this filesystem.

EDIT:
There is a high chance that there's nothing wrong with your unit and it's just "/media/az01-internal/Settings/MPC/MPC-crash.info" not being deleted after shutdown is initialized.
If you know your way via SSH you could try to delete it manually and see if it helps.

Always use fat32 over exfat for stuff like this. Agreed. It's so much better at not self corrupting.
