Help please - reliable repairer for my beloved Roland MC-505
 

Hi all

hoping someone knows someone who can help.

have a Roland MC505 and has a couple of small issues.

One the LCD is a little messed up so needs replacing.
Two needs a general srvice as the sliders do jump a little.

Admittedly its about 10 years old but I love it and its been acting as a midi module rather than its full potential.

I love this unit but have failed to find a 'quality' repairer in my area. Did contact Roland and they referred me to two = company that held it for 4 months (no charge) but didn't have the tools or right components to fix it.

From what I can see (the repairer referred me to this) is a YouTube link where you have to clip some mounting internally and fix an alternative LCD. :( Something I am not confident in doing....I imagine/hoping the slider issue is just contacts.

Can anyone help in the southern UK area.

Many thanks

hey

not much help cause me in australia!!.....but

logitronics replaced my lcd in my 505 for a few hundred(cant remember exact)

they said they had to hack the inside away to fit the only one available that fits (kind of)

all is good 2 years later

Hi Rotton

Yep that is what I have been told, in fact search YouTube and there is a video showing this...I am not that brave, experienced or confident with a cutter/solder iron :/

But thanks for taking an interest :)
