Hi
I recently bought a 2000xl. As I always tend to do, I bought on impulse without doing any research beforehand. Because of that I didn't know what to look for and bought a very basic unit.
I'm finally up and running with a Gotek USB emulator (wanted a CF card reader but that's a different story). Anyway, I got to the point where i've got a few folders worth of sounds to play with. Only when trying to load them into the MPC did it became clear that I only have 2MB of internal RAM, not the 32 I was expecting.
I have gone back to the ebay listing I bought it from, it does state 'basic unit with no added memory' but I thought 32MB would come as standard? Can't understand how they would sell units with only 2MB, can't do anything with that! I raised it with the guy I bought it from and he was like ''Yeah it only comes with the stock memory''.
The reason i'm confused is i've opened it up and it looks to me like there is 32MB in there. There are two stick things with a code written on them, when searching the code they both seem to be 16MB sticks. I've taken a picture but not sure how to upload on here?
If you check this video - [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwMmvgi813g[/youtube] - where the guy adds the memory it looks to be empty beforehand with nothing on it, but for mine there are the two sticks things there.
Is it possible that they are faulty? Or could they be something different to RAM? If I format the MPC F-ROM, could that help or **** up my MPC? Any ideas suggestions would be very helpful!
Sorry for the long post!
Cheers
