2000 freeze

so i have 2000
i bought it for $255 knowing the outs dont work,
wich is a bombass deal.i ran thru everything updated the bootdisc
checked the ram.BUT...there is always a but right..well
BUT everytime i get into sample mode i can chage all the params in that
except when i goto change the sample mode from monoL to anything eles
it freezes on que everytime hasent faild me once.wich..is bugging the **** out of me. again i ran thu everything on the machine EVERYTHING eles work fine.
no freezes screw ups or anything like that..
so i ask of u fellow mpc'ers what u think the **** problem is????
hardware software what??..also the screeen looks to be newly installed.
i also took the ram out..properly dident fry anything grounded myself first.
all that shit..what u guys think???

oh also the ins dont work..when in sample mode no sound is picked up..
so im guessing the sound card is ****??

well if the ins dont work and u are trying to sample than thats the reason your mpc is freezing. See if u can get them repaired. If u dont feel like going through the trouble than just mail the mpc to me and Ill buy it off you for what u paid

yup yup ganna get it fixed up if its not too much $$

Hey I got the same problem , Anyone know what his fix was. I see this is from long ago. I am sure someone else has the same issue or had it in the past . A Lil help would be great.

Hi,
same situation, how did your stories turn out? any solutions?

I always suggest disconnecting all connectors and reconnect them... sometimes they wiggle loose over time from transportation, banging the pads, expansion and contraction from the temperature... etc.

any connector, ram, etc.... disconnect, clean if needed.... reconnect.

And if that's not the case, are there any known problems/solutions with AD/DA board? Couldn't find anything on this matter, including at least schematics. Is buying the new AD/DA board the only option?

I dont know, cause I suppose it might depend on what is actually wrong with it.... also, you would need to find out if that is actually the issue. My suggestion is if it does not work then buy another cheap or broken 2000... maybe one with a burned screen.... swap out parts. That will probably be cheaper and you might get a few expansions with it to make it more worth while.

Thanks for the advice. Although I don't have enough money now to buy those parts as they seem to be very expensive. In the mean time, i tried searching for possible problems in circuitry and found one fuse on the ada pc board fried. the screen unfreezes and i'm able to select mode with no problem when this broken fuse is shortened. now i'm facing another problem, low or no volume in the headphones.. didn't really check for all the symptoms, will buy a replacement fuse and then proceed.

Just an update: the freeze problem was solved for me by replacing the fuse (marked FS2 on the board, but I guess burned out FS1 would give the same simptoms), the replacement part cost me less than a dollar. I am now able to select mode between left, right and stereo. What I do not get is the sound
