I have opened my mpc this morning trying to clean the pad sensor.
All seem fine until I removed one rubber from PAD4, now I can't/I don't know how to get again the pad inside the black square. I didn't find any video showing how to set up the old pads thats why I post here.
I add a screen showing how I have my mpc atm:

(no, i don't have the mpc with garanty and I won't pay 200$ for the new ones)

Lol...perhaps you should have removed the whole pad from the base plate

Remove the whole pad assembly by unscrewing it then remove the individual pad by removing the smaller screws on the pad underneath - then you'd get access to put the pad-holder back on properly, but beware, it hard to get them back on tight like the original pad was before you opened it.

lol...good luck!

The problem is how to remove the black square, they are fixed or something like that? How then ppl change a singular pad?

Dude you need to replace the whole pad.

To change the whole pad; you need to unscrew the complete pad assembly, there's 2 screws on the left and 2 on the right of the pads, remove those and lift the whole set of pads out gently, you'll need to unclip the cable assembly on the left and theres another one underneath.

If you're talkin about removing the tiny black sensor squares inside the pad then do a search on some of the other posts on this subject and you'll see how fun that can be.

Good Luck
