problem with RAM

It is possible to kill MPC putting in EXM-E3 upside down? I did that and now my mpc have blue screen and nothing else happens. This is the worst day in my life .I dont know what to do Please help me

Dont think there is much you can than taking it to the nearest akai place where they can fix it.

i did that-pulled it out,and all was well-
xcept the ram board broke .....

goddamn i would make sure they send me another one instead of fixing that one.I've had bad luck with hardware ones i sent it out it never works properly afterwords.

What do you mean saying "never works properly"?

Well i sent my yamaha digital mixer 3 times to get it repaired and it seem like they never got it done it kept on breaking until they sent me brand new unit.Same thing happen with my digital recorder,so i had bad experience with hardware repairs.In this case you motherboard might be fuked up and that's a hart of the unit.

How to reset 5k without using a software? Possible?

By reset u mean format it?

3 weeks ago somebody (maybe the same guy) posted exactly the same problem, he killed his mpc by putting the additional ram the wrong side in. He was advised to send his MPC to Akai and deleted the post in the meantime.

Is it not clearly described with what side you have to put the expansion in?

I have recived the exm-e3 card without any instruction how to put it into the mpc. After when i broke it and i have started to looking for the bill i found instruction in the box from drum mashine :/ I forgot about that . Tomorrow my mpc is going to akai

Damn. Next time read the instructions dude!...lol

I figured a few people would get into trouble with the RAM - that's why I included the RAM upgrade within my sticky 'So you want to upgrade your MPC 5000?' - guess you didn't read that in time...?

Hope you got it fixed now bro?

hi guys i blew my mpc5000 by inserting ram it blew the pcb.Obviously made my warranty void got it back now cost me £86 to get it fixed hope you sort yours out Pabloone looks like we did same thing m8

mpc back in the building : ] repaired and still under warranty plus new exm-e3 is coming this week. Thanks to all You guys for the feedbacks peace.

Reinitialize: Power up the MPC5000 holding down ERASE.

I posted this elsewhere before I saw this thread sorry.
I first got my 5k I had to install the ram myself.
I was so excited I began to fit it but was not sure it was square to the board.
I switched on the machine and there was just a white line through the display
I tried to yank if off to refit it and a plastic sleeve came right off..
Exposing around forty delicate gold female sockets.
I had calm down and straighten my pins and put the plastic sleeve back on.
After refitting and making sure it was square I switched my 5k on and all has worked like a charm since.
Point is those 128 memory board can be pretty tricky to fit.
Get Akai to do it or an authorised dealer...
