You know when you open up the 4000, if you don't unscrew that middle on on the back center, the little tab and it snaps off. It's crazy but there's a part of me that wants to replace the shell to have that again and know everything is as it should be even though it doesn't effect performance - it's just rattling around in there - luckily I'm not moving the MP to notice it. Am I mad? :wink:

no sound or midi in or out. I suspect main board to be the problem.
everything else is good


effects board = good
digital spidif i/o = good
screen = good
entire top panel with buttons and pads = good
512 mb RAM = good
cd drive = good
HDD = good
ad/da boards = good
froth USB port = good
pads & sensors = good

If you ask really nicely I'm sure he'll throw in some midi headphones.

Sorry just a bit of banter for asking what I think is a pointless question. Is there anything you've read in the thread to lead you to think the price is for anything but the whole unit? Lighten up anyway.

Lad, it's not a pointless question, I've followed the whole thread. It's not really banter is it; there's gotta be some level of humour for that and 'midi headphones' doesn't cut it.
