MPC Key 37 4GB RAM Upgrade + Repair

Hi guys i recently made a video of me repairing a broken keys 37 and upgrading the ram so i thought id share with you all.

Currently all modern mpc devices can be upgraded.

Im also looking to repair these for people so if you need yours looked at you can contact me all info in my video description.

Also i read through the forum rules and i couldnt find if posting this content was allowed or not so if not, feel free to remove. Thanks!

Hey man, it's great that you provide this type of service. I hope sells pick up in 2025!

Thanks, i hope so too. This repair service could help a lot of people too because im not entirely sure if mpc stuff handles this sort of thing with microsoldering. Let alone not sure how much they charge.

I'm surprised MPC-Stuff hasn't jumped on your idea yet. They either lack the skills or can't do it in a way it's profitable, but it's still early in the year. They say sex sells. Have a video where a sexy women is all over a guy after his MPC gets more RAM

I think they may be making too much money with what they do now than to risk offering this service but you never know we will see.

Ive reached out to them recently about partering up on the repair side since i heard they have been backed up with work but no response, yet.

Well, given that, for example, the live 2 replacement carrier boards are currently on back order with no eta, is it any surprise that mpc stuff may consider this quite a risky proposition? They definitely have the skills BTW, but they also would have to consider worst case scenarios when evaluating this as a viable business proposition.

I have a feeling they may have enough connections to obtain schematic and board view data to mitigate worst-case scenarios. These machines aren’t that complicated; it’s just about having the right information and tools available to fix them, and the risk is almost nonexistent. The worst-case scenario is that parts like the RK3288 disappear from existence, as the most vulnerable components would be the APU and/or the eMMC, since it contains crucial data needed to boot the device. So again, if they have good connections, working on these devices would be a breeze for them with minimal risk. However, who knows if it’s worth their time or if they even have staff capable of microsoldering?

BTW, from a consumer perspective it would be good to see a more detailed warranty information directly on the site (currently it just says ‘ 90 Day Warranty on parts and labor if the RAM modules stop working’). For example, stating what you would do if you break things while working on the mpc, or other scenarios such as mpc being lost or damaged during return shipping, policies in relation to import duties on international return shipping etc.

I know you've said here on this forum that you would always put things right but I think people would be more likely to go for this if there was a more detailed warranty up on your site that they can read before purchase.

As stated in the video i got the customer a brand new key 37 but moving forward i have more skill and knowledge in my arsenal after this messup to fix things even faster now so that may answer your question about what happens if i damage something.

As for shipping ive included a bit more information and if it came to the thing being lost that would fall on the shipping company if it happened on the way to the customer since i only use UPS with signature required. Not to say ill just tell the customer to deal with them but i would also try and help if its not out of my control.

It wasn't so much a question, I was just suggesting you add a detailed warranty/terms to your site so more risk-adverse customers would be more inclined to send a £1000 MPC to you

Ah gotcha, yes i added some more info that may scare people but at least they know the risks

Can you install 8gb or more of ram or is 4gb the limit?

He mentioned elsewhere that 4GB is the limit.

Thank you.

Next question: can he also install the screen tilt upgrade for a fee?

Where do I order?
