Thank you so much for your videos!!
Question: I have a friend that was using his 3000 when the apartment on top of his caught on fire and when the firemen hosed the fire alot of water went down the walls causing a power outage and now his 3000 won't power up. What do you suggest we do?

[@100ThingsIDo]

Could be a fuse blown inside if the unit did not get wet ? :D

[@joelrivera3285]

@100ThingsIDo Thank for responding!!! No it didn't get wet. The thing is that he is very sick and his wife died so he has no $$$ to fix it and I want to help him but I don't know how.

[@100ThingsIDo]

@@joelrivera3285 I feel for you both, I would suggest very carfully removing to top of the MPC3k and check the fuses. There are quite of few of them from memory and possibly one of them is blown (you should noemally see a black mark on the glass). Other than this try and find a friend thats OK with eletronics and they them to have a basic look. I'm guessing its nothing too serious... Hope this helps and good luck :D

I do a lot of tactile switches, and having a real desoldering station helps a lot. Failing that, there are two approaches. One is to whittle the tip of a chopstick down so you can wedge it under the switch as a prying tool. The other is to just cut the leads right off the switch and remove them one by one.

[@100ThingsIDo]

The two leg Tact's are a nightmare :D

[@Rafael.Bernardino.]

Wow, really nice work.

[@100ThingsIDo]

Thanks Rafael :D
