After about 15 minutes of using my akai mpc 2500, it,s starting several problems.
1. I can`t change program for track in main window by data wheel, but it still works for anything else in main window. So to change program for any track I have to go to program mode and ther data wheel is working.

2.Next problem. Pad 13 is not working , only sometimes, when I hit pad 14 first. and sometimes when i hit pad 14, pad 13 is working together with pad 14, but i am not touching it.

3. Next problem is another buttons like 16 Levens don`t react when I`am pressing them.

Probaply there are more strange bugs, because machine is working like crazy. I didn`t upgrade hardware, any ram memory or hard drive. I`ve firmware to 1.2 and than to 1.21. I think problem bagan some time after upgrade to 1.2 operation system.

Nothing help any opertion system, I`ve installed all 1.1, 1.2, and 1.21 and problem still is. Restore to fabrique settings doesen`t help as well.

Only when I turn off my mpc for about 20 minuts and than turn on is working ok for next 15 minutes, and suddenly problem i s starting again, that i can`t work.

Sorry for for my english, that is weak. Mayby someone had similar problem.
I am recently in UK, is anyone who nows where is Akai warranty servis in UK.
I bought it 3 mounths ago so is still on warranty. I hope that they can swap it or fix it, if this forum won`t help.

Which UK shop did you buy the mpc from? If possible take it back to them, and explain the problem. They will then send it off for repair. I doubt they will give you a new one, not after 3 months.

Its most likely an early dodgy batch of 2500s.

I have bought my akai in Glasgow in RS100 shop. I am going on Thursday to ask them to send it to Akai Serwis. When i bought it, they told me about one year warranty of manufacturer. I can`t find receipt, i hope thay can check with serial nmuber that i bought it in this shop.
Probaply they`re not selling a lots of akai in each month, this is not cheap.
It always have to happen to me.


Thanks for answers.

ask for a replacement unit as it could be in the service dept for a long time.......

this happened to a friend of mine. He had a cracked pcb somewhere. Kinda weird for it to manifest itself like this, but that fixed it.
