NEED HELP IF YOU GUYS CAN..THANKS

HEY GUYS I JUST PICKED UP AN MPC 3K FROM A PAL....WE TRADED MY OLD UNNEEDED MPC 2000 CLASSIC FOR IT...

HERE IS THE SCENARIO....
I POWERED ON THE MPC AND ALL OF THE RED LIGHTS ARE ON BUT THERE ISNT ANYTHING ON THE DISPLAY...

FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT WANT TO KNOW , I WAS TOLD ALREADY THE MPC WAS INOPERABLE ACCORDING TO HIM BUT I JUST WANTED IT TO SEE MAYBE I CAN WORK MY ELECTRONIC INTELLIGENCE WITH IT...

IF YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE ANY SIMPLE TROUBLE SHOOTING OR DIAGNOSTIC TIPS I CAN DO LET ME KNOW. I WOULD DEFINITELY SEND IT TO FORAT IF I AM UNABLE TO GET IT AT LEAST RUNNING.
THANKS IN ADVANCE

Here is a break down of things to look at.

5: The incoming mains voltage is excessive, insufficient or noisy.

4: The WAVE RAM SIMMS and/or EXM board have dirty connection pins
and/or are not seated correctly in their sockets.

3: The WAVE RAM SIMMS and/or EXM board is faulty.

2: The ribbon connectors between main and front panel circuit boards
are not correctly seated. ( and other boards )

1: The MPC3000 power supply board needs repair.

Solutions to above:

5: Ensure that you have connected your MPC3000 to the correct mains
supply.

Confirm the intended mains supply designation of your MPC3000 by
looking for a small sticker near the mains inlet socket.

[A] = AAL ( USA ) – 110 volts.
[B] = BEAB ( ENGLAND ) – 220-230 volts.
[C] = CSA ( CANADA ) – 110 volts.
[E] = CEE ( EUROPE ) – 220-230 volts.
[J] = JPN ( JAPAN ) – 100 volts.
[S] = SAA ( AUSTRALIA ) – 240-250 volts.
[U] = U/T ( UNIVERSAL WORLD AREA ) 100/110/220-230/240-250 volts.
[V] = VDE ( GERMANY ) – 220-230 volts.
[Y] = CUSTOM – per custom supply documentation.

Then confirm that the mains supply from your distribution outlet
matches what your MPC3000 is expecting.

Consider using a mains line conditioner/regulator to ensure that your mains supply voltages remain clean and stable regardless of any incoming line variations.

4: Remove the SIMMS and/or EXM board, clean the pins and re-insert
same into your MPC3000.

Note. If your machine is maxed out to 32 megabytes of RAM using SIMMS
then remove the EXM from your MPC3000.

3: Remove and replace the SIMMS and/or EXM board.

2: Remove and re-seat the ribbon connector.

1: Have a service technician repair the power supply board.

NOTE: see -- http://www.mpc-forums.com/viewtopic.php ... 4&start=15 for a guide on power supply troubleshooting.

All this should be enough to get the ball rolling.

i think its cool how you always give a detailed reply to people.most peeps could care less about someone else's problems

GuYS im pretty sure i hae solved my PRoblem... THE MPC MAINBOARD WAS DAMAGED BY WATER... WHAT A PITY TO SEE BUT HEY I KNEW ALREADY THE MPC WAS INOPERABLE, BASED ON WHAT I SEE ITS DEEMED GARBAGE UNLESS I COULD PICK UP A USED BOARD SOMEWHERE... IM PRETTY SURE ROHAN OR FORAT COULD FIX IT .....

how much did u pay for it?
