Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By Craig Fri May 20, 2016 7:11 pm
When I fire the unit up, it's automatically on Bank A. When I switch to C or D, they activate, but I can only toggle between C and D and it wont allow me to go back to A... Am i missing something here? Thanks!

Open it and check your ribbon cable, it might be misaligned where one pin or more is not connected to anything. I had this problem with a 2Kxl having strange behavior and wrong lights, it still powered and booted up fine but it turned out to be the ribbon cable to the main circuit board with the buttons was offset.

- Sounds like you might have some buttons that are going bad. Open the unit. Check the to see if the plastic buttons for bank A and B are making contact with the actual tact switch. When the plastic buttons break at the joint, it's harder for the button to make contact with the tact switch. If that's not the problem. Go out and buy a can of Detoxit contact cleaner. Take the plastic button off the PCB board - be careful not to break the plastic legs that anchors the plastic button to the board. Spray couple of times of the detox spray on top of the tact switch and press in the tact button a few times to get it working in there. Cover around the tact switch with a paper towel, so you don't get that stuff spraying all over the place. Make sure the unit isn't powered on while you are doing all of this. Don't put the cover back on until you confirmed if it's working or not. Have fun!
