Lines, Lines, Lines....

so my MPC acted up about a month ago and got some lines on the screen... i can work around that...

i thought of getting a new screen, but the lines go away after is "heats up"... thats fine with me...

im planing on getting a Card Reader but i know the screen will get to on my nerves at one point...

i tired taking the XL apart and cleaning up the screen and all the connections and motherboard but still get lines...

every time i turn it one it seems more and more lines go dead... i dont want to get a new screen and have the same thing happen to it...

the only MPC i plan on change the XL for is the 4000 (not anytime soon unless i get a good deal on one) so i plan on sticking with this XL for a good min, but i dont want to waste money on something that will keep happening...

so i deff gonna grab the Card Reader but im just not sure about the screen... is it the wire, the screen, the connectors, motherboard???

thanks.

It's not the connections, it's def the screen. it's going, going... about to be gone...

^^^ guess i better at that on the list as well.... i just dont get why they go away when it heats up a bit, it does get worst and worst with every time i turn it on.

atleast you got a cool avatar.

It sucks you can't get screens anymore I hate that Akai is basically alienating the 2000 & XL's.

Seriously they are holding out on the Americans & Europeans.

Akai has to have the worst support department in electronics.

Yep, that's an ill avatar man.
As for the screen, it's going to be gone soon.

yup, i notice when i turn it on i get more lines and less of them come back when the screen heats up.

ill keep using it till i totally goes out... i need to save my moolah for the up coming holiday season.

Well, being that Numark owns it all now, that would be Numark that sucks. Not Akai.



I have gone to endless lengths to obtain or re-manufacture the 2KxL screens to no avail.

As has VST.... I even received some help from them in trying to get 'r dun..... again, to no avail.

There are simply components involved that are no longer available.
No longer manufactured. No replacements. Not superceeded or replaced. Dun.

There may be a glimps of hope in some troubleshooting and fiddling I've been doing with different products,
but it still is not 'right' and I am all but done trying.

I have an MP on it's way that will allow me more freedom, cause I don't wanna kill my guy's.

At any rate, if you need a 4K screen I can get those all day....

Could it be the LCD Inverter PCB Board??? cuz only 5 lines looks permanent... the rest come on and off randomly...

that was my thinking!

Because when i touch the Inverter with a screwdriver the lines are go away!!!
