Reviews and questions about the entry-level MPC500

I've had my MPC for almost a year now. I bought it off of eBay for about $280. It worked fine and everything up until this morning. When I try loading a project, the screen goes blank and the entire system reboots. I've tried leaving it off for a good amount of time, but it still continues to do the same thing. I really hope i'm not the only one this has happened to. The only explanation on why I believe this is happening is because the outlet cable that came with the MPC broke and I had to switch it with another one. Other than that, I can't explain what is going on. Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much :(

If its installed with the 128MB RAM, it could be that it is loose. Open the battery compartment and click it back in.

Also could be some bent pins in the CF slot reader. Did you ram a CF card in there with hulking strength? You can bend the pins back with some tweezers but you must be careful like hands of a surgeon.

Other than that, reintialize it and reinstall OS 1.31.
