Installing a 120GB HD kit into my mpc 1000 or RAM

You can buy a working one on Ebay for $100 US.
Cheaper than trying to repair it. Jus sayin'.

Pretty far cry from original $1500 price, huh?

However not what you asked.

Try holding erase while you turn it on. You may have to turn off autoload also. You'll have to read the manual first ( pages 110 and 114 especially ) available here:http://www.mpcsounds.com/download_akai_mpc_manual.php It depends I think on whether the previous user saved to memory card or the internal HD.

Here is an excellent source of info:http://www.mpc-forums.com/viewforum.php?f=15 Consider joining and posting any questions you have. Forum members are happy to help and have usually had the same problems at one time or another.

You can go up to 80 gig of hard drive for this one.....

First you must configure your PC to read your mpc 100
flush card. Just insert the software CD driver of your mpc
100 flush card, if you have the CD. Otherwise, you must
have a download from the internet for the software driver.

Check if the ram you bought is compatible with that of the existing
in your Akai Mpc. The ram strip comes with a clock speed number stamp into it. It must be the same, otherwise it will not function. Or
it must be defective. On my own practice, I bring my PC to the com-
puter store, and let them activate the additional ram. In that manner
I will be assured of the compatibility and integrity of the ram added.
Do this, I'm sure you will be satisfied with the result. E-mail for result.

If you can't install the driver for the wireless,it can't turn on.You also should make sure, its the correct driver for the wireless card you have under your keyboard.Several other wireless cards, can and could be connected to your motherboard ,other than the one from MPC.If you want you can contact.me at(durtopian @hotmail.com) with more details of your problem and i'll help you more,if i can.

You have to first make sure the ram matches with the motherboard. There are front side bus speed issues that have to match up. If you can get on the internet go to www.crucial.com and let it analyze your computer. It will tell you exactly the speed and type of RAM you need. If it all checks out then let me know and we'll test it..

The new mpc support site is back online at http://www.mpcdrivers.com
Mpc notebooks have a bios password ability. Once that password is set, you cannot log into the pc without it. The only method is to have a repair shop replace the bios chip with a new one.
There is no password utility that will bypass this.

First ensure that you are saving into the right folder, on MPC HD and not into a subfolder, and that files are in correct midi format. Also ensure that connections to MPC are OK.

If connections and saved files are ok, then probably you need to reinstall Mpc 500software onto your computer, using disk provided with your Mpc 500.
