Book mark this following site, I keep promoting these guys like I work for them but the reason for doing so is because I had a good friend of mine use their repair service and they got his MPC2000xl up and running for under a hundred bucks and he had all 16 pads dead, and a damaged screen I believe. so give these guys a call and see how much they charge, and I feel your pain with the low end's, keep ya head up and keep producing man!

thats a nice hook up, but all i need is a pad sensor. that's like $70 on mpcstuff.com. but still when u dont have it at the moment to spend it seems like more.

I feel you man

Disconnect the sensor connector from its header.

Clean it thuroughly.

Also clean the contacts in the header.

Re-seat it.

I've seen sensors fail on one, 4, misc combos of pads - even ALL.... just due to crappy contact.

Metal corrodes

Try that. If that doesn't do it, replace the sensor.

will do...thanks for the input, ronin as well.
