MPC 1000 right hand side PCB replacement

The dial on my MPC 1000 is a bit scatty and some of the buttons need to be pushed at special angles. You can work with it but it gets in the way of your workflow. I decided to replace the entire board and take advantage of the improved data wheel that comes with the mpcstuff version of the board.

Stuff to buy

• MPC 1000 right side PCB from mpc stuff here

Stuff to do

• Take off the front and top panels of your mpc as seen here, no need to remove the side panels for this upgrade.
• Methodically and carefully remove the plastic buttons
• Unscrew and disconnect the board, take your time with the connections. If you are unsure take pictures as you go to remember what went where. The blue ribbon cable needs care also, using a small screw driver was I able to open the connection to remove the cable (when re-assembling I had to push the cable in a little firmly before closing the connection back up carefully/slowly with pliers).
• Connect and screw in the new board. Suggest you test before putting the plastic buttons and panels back on.
• When using JJOS you may need to change your data wheel type in the settings
• Once happy put the panels back on.
