So, here are 11 tips that will help prevent you from running into a memory card disaster:

1 - Format a new memory card as soon as you get it

Even if your memory card came "preformatted," it's still a good idea to format them again with your own camera. And, only format the card from the camera itself (and NOT when it's inside a card reader that's connected to your computer). This will make sure the memory card is using a file system the camera recognizes.

2 - Use multiple small cards, instead of one big one

With the huge memory cards available today, it's tempting to just buy the largest one so you won't have to switch cards. But, what if your 128GB card fails? Then you just lost thousands of photos! That's why you should use multiple smaller cards, to spread out your photos and reduce the probability that you'll lose them all at once.

3 - Always leave a few extra shots on your memory card

Your camera probably has a number on the screen that tells you how many photos you can take before your memory card is full. This number is only an estimate, so if you happen to take a photo when your card is actually full, you may corrupt the data on the card. To avoid this problem, always leave some extra space on the card.

4 - Always safely "eject" your memory card from the computer

When you're done transferring your photos to your computer, make sure to "eject" them properly and don't just yank it out of the reader (or yank out the USB cable). On Windows, there should be an icon in the lower right corner of your screen for safely removing USB media, and on Macs you can just use the eject button on your keyboard. This is important because although you may think the computer is no longer reading/writing to the card, it may still be accessing it for some reason. Ejecting it will tell the computer to stop communicating with it, so you can take it out safely.

5 - Format your memory card, instead of deleting all photos

Formatting your memory cards is sort of like resetting them, and making them "fresh" again. It will help correct any disk errors that may have occurred during your last shoot.

6 - Store your cards in a safe place

It's important to protect the contacts on your memory cards, because the smallest piece of dust can cause reading/writing problems and ultimately loss of photos. To protect them, always store them in the case they came with (or get some if they didn't come with a case), and don't leave them lying around on your desk.

7 - Turn off your camera before removing the memory card

Although this may seem like a no-brainer, there's already been a few times where I almost forgot to turn off the camera before removing the memory card. If you yank out the card with the camera on, there's a chance you may remove it when the camera is reading/writing to it, which could potentially damage files on the card.

8 - Use a good quality card reader

Although the reader merely reads the memory card, there's still a chance it can damage the card. That's why it's important to always use a good quality reader. The best thing to do is use a reader made by the same manufacturer as the cards you use.

9 - Don't push your batteries to the limit

If you push your batteries to the limit and wait until they completely run out of energy, then there's a chance they'll run out at the exact moment your camera is writing to your memory card (which could cause data loss). To avoid this possibility, put in a fresh battery as soon as your camera indicates the current one is low.

10 - Don't use the same card on multiple cameras

If you used a card to take 40 photos on one camera, don't put it in a different camera to take more photos. The two cameras (even if made by the same manufacturer) may have different file system requirements or architecture, so mixing them between cameras could corrupt the data on the card.

11 - Only use good quality memory cards

Photos are known to disappear "mysteriously" with cheap off-brand memory cards, so always buy good quality cards. You don't have to get the top of the line super-mega-fast-10,000x-warp-speed-gold-plated cards, but you shouldn't get the no-name cheap ones either. Personally, I'm a big fan of SanDisk and Lexar.

I refcently purchased a MR16 Fostex it comes on lights up and shuts down . What is possibly wrong ?

Power supply. Most likely an electrolytic is failing. It may or may not show any signs of it. Other possibilities are bad solder connections, loose wire connections, or possibly a bad MOSFET if it uses a switchmode power supply. Also check the general construction to make sure nothing is shorting internally. Sometimes wires get pinched.

How to perform a factory reset?

1. Power-off the PS60.
2. While holding down the four PERFORMANCE buttons and the OCTAVE DOWN button, power- on the PS60. The PS60 will be initialized, and the factory-set data will be written into internal memory. The display will indicate "Initializing..." while data is being written. Never turn off the power while this indication is shown.

Manual available here:

I need to replace the transformer. What is the specification and where can I get one? Thanks

The internals run on +/-15 Volts and +5 volts. While schematics show the audio and digital circuits they fail to show the power supply. I suspect the supply uses regulators such as the 7815 family so one would want around 18 to 20 volts DC of each polarity.A transformer would likely be about a 28 to 30 VAC centertapped. HOWEVER transformers rarely fail. There should be fuses to protect the transformer. Some Behringer equipment uses a switching supply. Common failures in those is the switching transistor. When testing these units, it is useful to place a 25 watt incandescent lamp in series with the power cord to save fuses and act as a resetable fuse that will send a limited current into the unit for testing.

How do you wipe out everything and put back regular settings on the mpc 2500

from the akai forums:


to set the os back to factory settings press and hold the erase key till the mpc has booted to the main screen.

to erase the harddisk goto either the load or save screen and then choose utility - there you will find the option to format the hdd.

you can also format the drive (or any inserted compact flash-card) from your computer thru the usb connection, but it is recommended to use the internal format because the mpc can be a little picky when you format it from the outside.

at first i would check if there is any folder or the internal memory is set to autoload and just turn that of or point it to another folder of you choice. that way you can keep the factory delivered sounds. maybe you want to use them later, even if it is just to explore the mpc. the factory sounds can be also downloaded later, but be advised that there are different iterations of the stock sounds, depending on whether your mpc shiped with a 32 or 128mb compact flash card.

also the mpc os is not on the harddrive but in the internal memory. to check the version hit mode-> pad10. latest official version is os 1.24. if your main srceen looks different than in the manual check double and triple before you do anything, because the previous owner might have installed the third party jj os which comes in different versions. some of them cost a lot of money! if you find this check the other forum here for the alternative os.
