🔥 MPC 5000 Hard Drive to SD Card Reader Upgrade | Trials & Tribulations! In this video, I'm getting hands-on with my Akai MPC 5000, replacing a busted hard drive with an SD card reader. What should have been a straightforward upgrade turns into a little troubleshooting adventure! 🎹🔧 The new SD card reader doesn't work at first, so it's time to do some investigating. After some trial and error, I discover the culprit: the ribbon cable connected to the hard drive. I'll need to get a replacement cable, but I still manage to get everything working and situated for now! That's how it goes sometimes when you're working on vintage music gear.
