You need tact switches like these: tinyurl.com/q3y...

Feel free to suggest improvements in the fix!
This also works on the MPC 2500...

MPC as good as new for 6 bucks and 1h30 of soldering learning curve, thanks a lot!
HanHuman I'm glad to help keeping the machines alive
safe just wanted to say nice one mate your guide sorted me right out in fixing those buttons!
Good to hear!
Wait, so how do those tact switches cost £0.146 on the website you showed and $8 on MPC stuff.... that's 55 times markup!!
So I have just realized I got scammed by these guys. Fuck them.
I saw a video where a guy took the buttons out and repaired(he didn't replace, but fixed it) his buttons with alcohol soak and then applied voltage to a carbonated water solution and placed them in there for a few minutes and they were good as new
Thanks for the vid bro !
Fixed it with success, had to deal with a few problems but ended being ok.
Did a few ones with your method but forget others, so did some more without cutting the nails of the tact-switches but just removed them by desolding on the back. Find it easier.
Still, cheers mate !
Glad to hear about your surgical success :) Cheers
That’s what I ended up having to do. It’s hard to get under the tact switches so that’s a good solution. I need to fix some more buttons so hopefully that works again. Or just buy some nice cutters.
Thanks! MPC is back on track!
Peace!
appreciate the video i have a MPC 1000 project piece coming in and I'm pretty sure ill be replacing some buttons if not all.
To test your buttons with JJ OS try press Shift+F2
Thanks for this. Just did it today,, very happy with the results
Just a couple of ideas to add...you only need to remove the screws at the front on the bottom plate ...and to remove the tact switches you can just heat the contacts and tug the switch out at the same time ...no need to cut but you still need to desolder which is much easier once the switches are removed.
worked like a charm!! thank you!
thanks! you say in the video you need 6x6x5mm switches (SKHHAMA010) but your link goes to 6x6x4.3mm (SKHHALA010) - which are preferable?
Ok, so after watching the video I am now in love with this song! I tried finding it on your website and Spotify, but no luck. What's the name of the song?
Thank you a lot. Here's song on Soundcloud: soundcloud.com/silent-people/point

Peace, I know this video is old however I am in need of assistance. I recently changed the tact cursor switches in my 2000, now none of the buttons work. The machine boots perfectly and all ribbons are connected. Any assistance is appreciated...
question, i just want to replace bottons with new color buttons.. All i have to do is remove the cover and replace them? i dont need to get into the very inside like you did for the tac switch?
Grimz yo did you try removing the buttons? I’m wondering the same thing. Do I have to disconnect anything or can I just pull the buttons off?
Thanx you really helped me out
Thank you
This is clutch.
Does the F -keys have the same type of tacticle swithes? Just asking because they feel little different when pressing them.
same tact switches but the plastic button on top is a bit different and that is why it feels different
I got the same volume- and record-gain knobs like the ones in your video from mpcstuff. Couldn' t get them to stay in place cause I don' t know how to get that screw tight and secure. My knobs wobble around. Any advice?
HI! thanks!! very useful video!
question.... u have the technical speficaction for the REC button?
About the price of these tactile switches... same goes with the RAM, you can buy 3 times cheaper laptop RAM that suits your MPC perfectly rather than buying the AKAI RAM... Theyre both the same, do the same thing last a same time span... I did that exactly, google it up.
why is there a piece of cartboard inside the hole where the hard drive belongs?
Nice one for posting!
this is such a useful video, and thank you for the link for where to buy replacements switches. one q: do you know the type / have a link to the bigger buttons i.e. the transport? i'm looking to fix up an mpc 500 and would like to get the same type / brand as the smaller ones. thank you
Question: Does anyone know how to repair the data wheel on the Mpc500, when it does not move the selections on the data screen.
An heavy object was placed on top of it during an incident that pressed down to hard on the wheel, during a moment when all equipment was being moved, the object wasnt too heavy, yet heavy enough to injure it, so when spinning the wheel, it does nothing on the data screen. Yet sometimes it does, with great effort. Upon removing the casing of the mpc500, and removing the wheel, i noticed it is structured differently then other mpcs underneath.
What can be done to secure the wheels grip, or must something be done with the object underneath?
did you find a fix?
had the same problem on my first mpc 500, you can buy the data wheel and it's required pieces that need soldering off of eBay. you need a soldering iron to fix it. it's a common problem I never fixed mine I figured out how to manipulate the data wheel but it still was difficult to get results on screen. I relented and bought a second mpc 500. on this unit I'll make sure I'm more careful. I hope you can fix your unit bro. ..
awesome, thanks, nice tunes
You're welcome Ric. This tune is quite old, but we have some newer ones, with a lot of MPC at silentpeople.dk :) Cheers, Nikolaj
Thank you for the video. I have one quick question: Before you removed the tact switch, does the actual plastic button just pop out and then back in after you replaced the tact switch or is there any soldering involved with the actual plastic button. Thank you kindly.
if you didn't figure it out already you can just pop the rubber buttons off when the case is removed.
Good afternoon my name and wagner and here in Brazil rio de janeiro and would like to know which model of memory that uses the mpc akai mpc 1000 and Model 2500 and 100 pc memory 128mb or 128mb pc 133 144 pin, thanks
fala amigo onde acho um botão do picht para compra aquele ali no q2 de subir e desse /?????
What are the specs of the tap tempo and transport tact switches?
What watt soldering iron did you use
Are the tact switch sizes (6x6x5) able to be used on a mpc 2500 as well?
How about the compact flash port?
i replaced about 10 switches yesterday. all of them seem to work better than before, except for the "window" button, which is not responding at all now. any idea what could've happened?
cold solder joint maybe
Anyone know the catalogue number of the grey button tops?
these switches on the link are the same for 2500?
the mpc 2000xl use de same tact switch ? any 1 help me ?
same principle if i want to replace an up or down button?
yes\
thanks!!!
You're welcome :)
🙏🏿👊🏿
Yep, excact the same :)
