what's up , I need a fuse for my mpc 60.. Something wierd happend though.. I was putting in a RAM expantion board and I for some reason, blew a fuse. It won't turn on at all and it's the 125v 3.15A fuse in the power circuit board. I hope it has nothing to do with the memory card I installed. Main question though... does anyone know where I could get the fuses? I tried radio shack where I live and they had everything but the 3.15A fuses. Maybe someone can hook me up with a mouser part number? Also is it a slo-blo fuse Im lookin for or a fast acting?

I know that VST have these as they sent out a bunch to one of my friends down here in AU.

Good luck and hope your 60 is still in good shape after the fuse change.

thanks guys... I emailed forat, they got back to me pretty quick and said they have em. I am a little worried but Im sure it will be cool with a new fuse... WOW would that suck if it doesn't though.

I got some of the fuses I need, and my 60 is fine which is a relief. The problem is, when I put the memory expansion board in, it blows the 3.15amp fuse when I turn it on. I got the memory board from sound logic. Has anyone had this problem?

I just emailed sound logic about it. I hope they didn't send me a bad board.

Sound like it might be a bad memory board if it's knocking out your MPC power supply fuse.

Or ... some thing else on your MPC sound board is bad.
