tech help: MPC 1000 won't turn on..blown fuse/short?

I just got an MPC 1K to try out the JJOS and it won't turn on.

I did some searching and tried holding onto the erase button on startup, but no go. My guess is that a fuse is blown? I checked the main fuse, accessible from opening the bottom of the case up, but it looks fine...is there another fuse on the top side (under the pads) of the main board? <-looking from the bottom?

I'm freaking out a bit that I should never have strayed from my 3K/60 roots...someone heeeelp!

I'm also thinking of selling it as is for $400 if I can't get it fixed if anyone is good at fixing them on this board

thanks in advance

Yup if you can get 400 as is, I would go for it and skip the headache. I've never heard of a 1000 that just won't turn on.

urgh, thats such bad luck.

was it second hand, right?

ill do a supplementary search into your problem and edit the results back into this post if i have any luck.

Check your ribbon cables inside -- something must have wiggled loose.

what 1000 is it?
does it have pad upgrade
where r u selling? here? e-bay?
have u checked the contrast?

^it's the black one with the newer single pad's, I've checked the contrast, I'm going to check the fuses today and see what's up...and if you're interested I'll sell here ($375 plus shipping)

i'll be in myrtle beach a few days after easter..

cool, hit me up

I fixed the MPC, the fuse was bad, so now it's good to go. The only thing is the retainer for the memory is broke and it is having trouble reading memory chips (more than the 16 mb onboard). I have the spare clip, but it looks like a **** to resolder in.

^^so r u still selling?

yeah, 400 plus ship, includes the replacement memory holder

do you have all the packaging and manuals,cables etc.?

manuals yes, power cable, no box or packaging

i think nym had a fix for that - something simple like a rubber band and a matchstick... i might not be remembering that right though..

A bit of blu tac and a piece of string maybe??

Is it sold ? If not I got 400$ (plus shipping) ready to send !
