RECOVERY ROM chip

Hi mpc heads

am looking for a RECOVERY ROM chip to install in my MPC2Kxl

any words

cheers

Plugs inside the MPC and lets your format/restore the internal flash ROM where the OS is stored, in case it becomes corrupt from an incomplete OS update, or similar, and can no longer be updated from a connected drive/reader.

They are probably only made available to authorised service centres. I tried to get hold of one for an MPC2500, but VST said they are not available.

thanks for the replies

would this be what I'm looking for?

is it going to be a complicated process?

I think that is what you need. Contact VST, they will let you know for sure.

Might be worth seeing if they have one with OS 1.20, if you need that in particular to work with a card reader.

I guess that you have to open the MPC, plug that ROM into an IC socket inside the MPC, boot from it, fix your OS flash ROM, then remove it. It will come with instructions, or VST will be able to let you know how to do it.

Looks like that is a standard EPROM chip, not a specialised board like what is needed for the MPC2500, which probably makes it easier to get hold of.
