Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

I just recently purchased a used MPC 2000. It worked great for a week and a half, and out of nowhere it started giving me a disk read error when i turned it on. After doing some research i found out that it may be because i had a corrupted boot disk. So i got one of the AKAI tech help guys to mail me a new boot disk. But i still get the error. I then installed a new floppy drive, but i still get the error. Its strange because ive gotten it to work on more than one occaision (after recieving the first "Disk Read Error") but when i turn it off again i get the error.

has anyone experienced this before? could there be another issue that im missing here?

Could be various issues... Check your internal connections to the floppy drive. They might be loose,
Check that your floppy isn't getting demagnatized from a magnet source (speakers) which could end up corrupting the OS on your disk.
