MPC 3000 button problem

Hi everybody! That is my first post here.

I have MPC 3000 which is in quite good shape.Recently I started to have problems with the UP,RIGHT and DOWN buttons of the cursor.I opened it and saw that the small takt switches under the plastic buttons get stuck and it takes a lot of effort to press them.I also saw that you can buy them at MPCstuff.com but I don't know if I can change them myself.

If somebody can give me some info on how to do that would be great!Otherwise I suppose I'll have to give it to some professional.

thanx

im not sure what type of problem it is.. is it really just the button gettin stuck? mine used to do that with the 4 buttons under the screen.. which is as fatal as UR problem... lol... it quit doing that after a while.. dunnow... is ur mpc shipped from somewhere??

If you can solder you can replace them no problem. If you can't find someone who can and have them do it. You can find the part number in the bible thread and order them from mouser much cheaper than mpcstuff.com
