Edit: Just connected the Mpc to power, no issue. Turned it on normally and it booted fine, shut it down again and it went back to the same stuck boot cycle. At this point I’m ready to ditch it and just give up making music, I know that sounds dramatic but the Mpc is my primary tool, unfortunately I rely on it.


I don't what else you got going on, but if your willing to give up making music over 1 easy to replace device, then maybe that's the best thing for you. Also, if your going to truly give & you most likely won't sale your MPC in that broken state, then you might as well open it up take Dustyslices advice & check that power button & whatever else.


Yeah that’s sensible advice, I’ve been having a series of problems with electronic stuff for a while now, just fed up of it tbh. Also, fixing the power button doesn’t necessarily fix the reason why it blew, I’m really no expert though and it’s a good diagnosis, I’ve been thinking the Linux partition is corrupted but the power button makes more sense.

So I was just trying to delete my account, and instead it’s pushed this thread up to the top when I haven’t even posted anything. (The thread got pushed up before I posted this message)
