Man you could have a logic board issue. I got your PM but i assume it was before you installed your board. Check to see if you connected everything and see if the connectors are in tight if not then im not to sure (im not an electrician) but im guessing the logic board?

The logic board/cpu section is the board that houses your USB, L/R inputs and Sample Inputs. That board however is quite expensive ($375.00 I know because i had asked AKAI). Are you having problems with any of your other buttons that pertain to the board you just switched out?

yea i been tryin to find spots locally here in my city so i wont have to send it off all the d@mn way to cali or sumwhere crazy far away...i been dealin with it for over a year now usin +/- but i gets annoying when i gotta look for a certain samples or edit a sample..especially when im really gettin into my sample $h!t these days...if i send it off, who knows how long we'll be seperated and/or what the hell theyre gonna tell me is wrong with it...my warranty is over wit so im pretty much s.o.l.

yea its just totally dead..it went from workin a lil bit to not working at all...and now also for sum reason after i took the grey wheel off and put the black one its hella stiff..but it wasnt working before it changed that out so i know it had nothing to do with why the wheel function itself inst working.
