Having seen the posts here and the videos on Youtube regarding the failure of the MPC5000 backlight boards, I contacted the importer in Australia. They got back to me and said that they had only come across one instance of failure here. I would like to do some preventive maintenance on my MPC just in case however (I run a synthesiser service centre in Australia). Does anyone have any further info or photo's of board failures? From what I have seen it looks like a cap that burns, but I don't know whether the fault is due to a bad batch of caps, or of the cap was under-spec'd in the design, of of the cap is a victim of another component failing down the line.
If we can come up with further information I will work out a fix and implement it on my machine and post details here. For any MPC5000 owners in Sydney I am happy to replace the part with no labour charge if your machine is out of warranty if we can somehow determine which component is causing this.
