Before you order replacement tact switches for under the buttons on your 5000 you must understand that the ones for the 5000 are different than those on some of the other models. The MPC 5000 has tact switches that have only two leads (rather than four as on some other models). The two leads are in the in the middle rather than on the corners. I am currently trying to find the right ones and when I do I will post a link. Is there anyone out there who already knows the exact right switch to order from an online electronics store or ebay? A model number would be awesome. Please do not send me a forum link to someone fixing another model that uses different switches.
