Post your views and questions about the Akai MPC2500

This is a 2 part problem and i think it will take 2 seperate sollutions for each.

A) My pads started to get **** up. In the 2nd two rows on the right. I saw a similar post to this and have an idea of how to trouble shoot/clean the pads, however, this will be my first time taking apart the MPC.

Does anyone have a link to a good tutorial or video showing how to take apart an MPC2500 and clean the pads, or can someone on here explain how to do that?

and

B) I think my OS is corrupted. I've connected my MPC to so many computers and macs to get samples that I think it got confused. I just recently deleted a TON of samples of the HD and it started to act strange.

When I move through the menus to load samples sometimes the text will turn into symbols that I can't read, like some alien language, and no amount of f'cking around with it will get it to return to normal until I simply re-power on the machine. This sounds like an OS problem to me.

What is the easiest way to do a factory reset on the MPC2500? or should I try loading a different OS? Has anyone had a problem like this and are there any other trouble shooting steps I should try?

Finally, could the OS problem be **** up the pads as well? Or is it just dirty pads?...

Feel free to email me at [email protected]. Thanks guys!
