SYSTEM TEST, What the hell does this mean?

Anybody know what that's about?

LOL

Dood i haven't even thought about the card that came w/ the machine since i bought this thing. I forgot i even still had it.

So calm down ok?

Isn't that ironic the same Card some punk deaded me on at your favorite local music retailer.

that's all I would have needed

oh well fuggg it.

Tsk Tsk Tsk.

So does it mean that when you get this "System Test" message, your MPC2500 is done, through, finished?

No..but you should really read through this thread ...

So I guess it's in my best interest to go back to the old operating system?

Or just be aware of the issues and know how to re-set your MPC, when or if the time comes.

Thanks

alright, for those who don't know what system test means/ or doing THIS IS THE WAY TO TAKE CARE OF IT SO YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ASK A BUNCH OF THE SAME QUESTIONS OVER & OVER & OVER & OVER ETC.......

1) take your cf card, remove all data/ memory on it
2) put the version 1.1 or whatever onto the cf card (using a cf reader via usb, or what ever works for you)
3) place the cf card into the slot of the mpc
4) turn on the mpc holding the windows key, BAM. you're up and runnin'
5) via usb, unload the 1.1 version and replace it w/ the 2.0 version and do exactly the same thing you did w/ the 1.1 version and you're back up and runnin' with the newest OS.
6) you might want to check the master settings by pressing MODE key and OTHER, to reset any thing that might have been defaulted from the "SYSTEM TEST" (which is no more than the dang thing freezing up on you) somestimes caused by turning the machine off while playing a sequence or while the machine is processing something your in the middle etc etc.) i've had it happen a few times, so i'm fluent w/ what to do.

MAKE SURE YOU FREQUENTLY SAVE YOUR PROJECTS JUST INCASE UNTIL THE NEW OS COMES OUT.

DON'T PANIC, YOUR MPC IS NOT BROKEN, IT'S NOT DEFECTIVE, JUST TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND APPLY THESE STEPS.

PROBLEM SOLVED, TTTTTRRRRUUUSSSTTT MMMMEEEEEE.

NOW, THERE SHOULD BE NO MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS UNLESS YOU DON'T SPEAK ENLISH OR CAN'T READ THIS, ONE OF THE TWO..LOL.

THANKS FOR PLAYING.

That is cool for most parties. However, this didn't work for me as I explained in an earlier post. The problem is that we need a new OS ASAP. When the last two OS, break functions that worked in previous OS..this is a problem. I am the one that usually look at things from a positive perspective. I am running out of positive things to say.....

Wow! So am I the only one who hasn't experienced this system test thing? Does it happen when performing a certain task or function? I caught the ass end of this thread so I am just wondering. Yo Jahrome, you gettin this error too? Damn, I'm either really lucky or its gonna hit me when I least expect it to.

Some have and some haven't. I've been one of the lucky ones.

From what i can gather it happens when you turn off the MPC whilst it's playing a sequence or performing an operation. Hard to pin point it though

What type of RAM do you guys have installed? I had Kingston RAM in my MPC and I NEVER got the SYSTEM TEST. I think it could have something to do with the Akai RAM.

Got the Akai ram in mine

Kingston here.
