I have two Mpc 2000 though i bought messed up for a total price less then 600.00 , anyway i sent one unit to VST and the service took me 2 months @ 150.00, then i sent the other mpc to EPR Electronics, they took 6 months, i just recntly got it back, i advise you not send the unit to EPR, Akai only list VST as a Authorized Service Agent and EPR has to get all parts from VST thats why it took 6 months and i was charged 405.00 when i could've sent it to VST, since i lived in florida i thought it would be nice to get service at the home state, i was wrong.


WOW! I bought my 2k classic busted too. Ordered the screen from EPR. Ordered it on a Friday it came Monday morning..INstalled it myself...EAZY!

Well, I have dealt with both Rogue and Armen for years.
Can't say what it might cost but they give honest estimates and good repair.
You probably just have a failed power supply but that doesn't mean that there aren't other problems hiding behind that. :(
Monday they had a MPC-60I ($595) and MPC-60II ($695) why not check them out while you are there.
Who knows you might come home with a 60. :lol: 8)
