thats the one you want to change

everything is cool most likley but as i said do not keep turning it on/off in this condition!!! and get a 110 to 220 V converter

Hi ceo

when you see F 1- F 3 they are on top and obvious, the 4th one (or actualy F1) is down behind it, i think down / left you may have to lay your head sideways and look closley to see it.

there is no space to grab the fuse out down there, you ll have to flip it out with a screw driver or so.


if that doesnt help, let me know and i ll make a picture.

60II here aswell.

basicaly the 3 fuses are on thier own board i think while the 4th is really on the PSU itself

it is not on the upside but on the DOWNside of its board

well i went to look for the fuse but there doesnt seem to be any around my area, they only have the 250v fuse. also theguy at the shop wont sell me a step down transformer unless i tell him how many whats the mpc needs. i am going to send my mpc off to be repaired because they can check all the other bits inside it aswell.

i did try quite a few plugs with it so i hope its not to damaged cos i will have to pay alot for the repair.

thank you for yor help everyone i appreciate it

i am in EU aswell man they dont have 110V Fuses here... was told it doesnt matter, and my mpc is running so what

a 110v to 220v converter (usualy 50W) costs 10 euro in the internet, a fuse costs 0,50 Cents

"i did try quite a few plugs with it " why the hell would you do that? :shock: whatever running it with the new fuse and a converter cant damage anything and is cheap

but yeh send it to be repaired, do what you want of course ... maybe mr. Toranaga was right after all :|

yea lonni everything you said made me realize you should not be going inside the mpc. and should probably spend the extra $ to try and have the mpc3k internally switched to 240v

you could've easily blown the psu. this will be an expensive fix if so.
