My "Shift" Button only works about 30% of the time.I swapped it with the "0" Button, but the problem persists.I've had my MPC2000XL for 6 years. It could be wear.Does anyone have word on a remedy?

    how about this one, when I spin my knob to the right, the numbers go like Im spinning it to the left untill I stop and start again... then they go the right way...

    I wouldn't know where to begin with that one.
    Have you seen this new OS @ http://www.akaipro.com/supportos.html ?

    It says "OS V1.20 for the MPC2000XL MCD drives only"
    I wasn't able to find any information on what was actually updated.

    that OS is optimised for the new (old) multi card reader drives. If you ain't got that type of drive you don't need it

    I sent an email to the AKAI Repair people:

    Brandon,

    Chances are that the actual tact switch needs to be replaced. The
    switches are about $7.50 and we would charge 1 hr. labor ($65) to replace
    1-5 switches (if the shift is going the you may have some others that will
    get less responsive over time).

    Best Regards
