MPC1000: Repair and LCD Upgrade

Recently, my MPC1000 was having issues with the function keys making it annoying to use. Seemed like a good time to open it up, repair those buttons, and install mpc-stuff's replacement black LCD. Let's get into it!

Thanks for uploading this; I got just lil bit more confidence going into restoring this 1000 I got coming in, and all the other videos are old and grainy as shit. Much appreciated bro.

[@sumawav]

For sure! Thanks for watching 🙏🏽 Really glad to hear the videos are helpful, feel free to DM if you have questions ✌🏽

[@cglittle683]

Bro.. you make it look so easy. Respect. I'm ready to upgrade my screen now. Love it.

[@crisprapper]

I find your videos deeply satisfying. Thank you for showing the process in fixing these problems, it's super cool you can keep these bits of kit in good shape with a little love, attention and some spares.

Glad you put these up, i'm currently modding/restoring a MPC 1000 i picked up cheap. It was already skinned, terribley thats peeling out. They sharpied all the buttons black, and it just looks beat. I know the pads were double triggering so already replacing those but considering going all in and making it fresh. appreciate the videos.

I think I need to swap the tact switches on my 1000. I find that I have to press extra hard on certain buttons to get a response. Also have you ever upgraded the HD to a SSD?

[@sumawav]

Yeah, the tact switches can get like that when thy start going bad. I've never done an upgrade to an SSD before. Lol, I only ever use the compact flash. I just looked into it and the venerable JJ themself uploaded a tutorial. Might be a cool upgrade! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmOWd6OmZt2rbcU

[@saavichisays]

what ever happen to the prototype tilting screens for the 1000? Would be so clutch still!!!

[@sumawav]

Oh MAN, that would be nice! I remember seeing a prototype for a 3d printed thing somewhere.

[@saavichisays]

@@sumawav yes this dude was posting about them ages ago... the XLCD is nice for the 1000 but no tilt. a regular screen with tilt on the 1000 would make it a serious machine. lol honestly if I knew how to 3d print id be all over it.

[@tradevoorhees]

i have the same problem with the buttons on my 2500.

[@sumawav]

The fix is probably very similar. I think they use the same parts too 👍🏽

[@scifiaudious2]

where can I find that 3.08 jj os now

[@sumawav]

You can find it on JJ's website: www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/~mpc1000/ i'm not sure how many versions he keeps around, but might be able to find 3.08 👍🏽

[@acetateassassin7933]

I have a 1000 but no audio. I think maybe a chip or capacitor. Any idea?

[@sumawav]

I bet the issue is more likely the output jacks. They get a lot of wear and tear from plugging and unplugging cables. One thing to check is if there's audio out of the headphone jack.

[@acetateassassin7933]

@@sumawav headphone Jack doesn’t work either. I replaced the ic chip but still nothing. Do you know which chip is the dac chip

[@liu373]

which tactiles are u using?
