I bought my 1680 late 90's, just checked it out again, boots up fine almost 25 years later. I found the sticker on the bottom, $3,300 CAD! It really was TOP of the line at the time. And solid, never crashed or glitched on me once (pretty amazing considering it leaves Roland with no easy way of updating firmware, it HAD to be solid). I'm looking at putting an SSD or CF card for the HD and getting it going again.
i just found my Mv8000 its totally damage from mold well i tried turning it on it doesnt boot up no power at all. I contacted roland too see how much it gone cost too fix. It been 7yrs plus since I lasted used it hope can get it fix be nice too use ot again.
how can i fix my board on my MV , a few buttons dnt work ...i had the tac swithes replace and they still dont work ......i seen u repaired your board with that red wire ...what did u fix with at red wire and would it help my situation
Had a guy wanting to sell me a 1680 for $150 off Market place on Facebook. The screen says the driver needs to be updated? How does it know it needs to be updated since it's not something you use online? Frustrating to know. Any suggestions and can it be updated? Thanks
How would I fix my mv 8000 inputs ? I tested everything else on it it has all my sounds i recorded a small pattern in it and the outputs work fine as well its just the analogue and phono inputs no signal comes through ?
I have a 1680 that I left powered on for several days (this was years ago) after that, the machine started randomly rebooting when I would move faders while mixing but only on certain songs. Do you repair them? The unit was purchased new over twenty years ago. I purchased a second party hard drive many years ago that was supposedly formatted with the software but it would never boot with it. ??? I just want for a portable song writing note pad.

Hi also will harddrive from 880 fit 1680 Thanks..
Im curious on how you removed the main board? As mine will not budge after removing all the screws, its an 1880 actually but looks a similar set up.
Hey do you have the cd burner for the 1680, I have old music I want off of there.
Damn I need to fix my transport buttons on my MV. Guess I'll be on the hunt for a used VS :(

Hello sir my roland vs 1680 bottom is not working ..how do I fix it
I have Mc505, It has three broken pots and a bad display, do you think that would be worth fixing? Or would it be better to just buy a whole new unit?
yea man why not ! the mc505 is great unit ! I had the mc909 also great
@@DJROCKCEEENTERTAINMENT I Miss my 909. I used to midi it to my mophatt and the Roland xp50.
How would I fix my mv 8000 inputs ? I tested everything else on it it has all my sounds i recorded a small pattern in it and the outputs work fine as well its just the analogue and phono inputs no signal comes through ?
I was once told it might need a new motherboard ... but if it's just the inputs why a new motherboard ?
still have any parts?
If I ever have to get anything fixed I know where and who to send it too!
thank you brotha !!!

hi, does anyone have information on the mod to eliminate noise in vs 1880?
Why didn't you just order some tactile switches
I need the gain Knobs..and the LCD , msg me if they are available
gain knob is available on WASK AUDIO (in germany/europe) - you can find it on Facebook or Instagram.
