I would be very-very-very thankful if somebody could re-upload fresh images for this tutorial ...

Without any pictures when you are a noob like me and when english isn't your mother language, it add more problems to the operation ! :(


I know you already got it, but I'll re-image this entire thing for sure.

Hi,
to all the folks on the MPC 2000 Classic,
I had the same pb mentioned above ( unworking pads, no sound out and noisy input )
You have to change ONLY RESISTOR R29
That’s all guys

Works like a charm on mine !

What i don’t get is the root cause for this problem ..
People connecting the 34pin cable connector wrong ?

I mean, the connector usually has a ‘ridge’ on it so it can be connected in just 1 way.
So how does this happen in the 1st place ….

that's where my problem started. in short, i disassembled an old akai s2000 to take eb16 and 8out and install them in my mpc 2000xl.
eb16 all ok.
8out had a short connection cable, so I tried to remove it but it was not possible (it seems soldered directly on the board) so I had to open the cable near the board and insert the pins manually. ofc i broked the resistor!Now thanks to star one I know what the problem is, but a doubt remains: is it removible the connector from the 8-output card and put a new one or an extension adapter? thank you so much and sorry for my english if i spelled something wrong

i know this is a little old but all you need is a "34 pin extension cable" they do make them

here is an example of what you would. just make sure to put it in the right direction

Yup it sucks the big one to have paid so much for something so simple, it hurts in facts, I feel your pain... But now we both know something very precious that not many people do, I hope that brings you some kind of consolation... You might score another dead MPC one day, who knows, and purchase it for a song and restore it back to life.


This is me after buying a Mpc2k for $200.00cad. It's not completely dead though, just the pads entirely are and I'm trying to figure out why. Got sensors coming in the mail, but I'd rather not spend money if I don't need to since I'm not 100% sure it's the issue. I know this is an old thread, but it was interesting and who knows... maybe I'll run into this issue in the near future.
