SOLVED The new capacitors did the trick and the MF-P01 is working again! Thanks for the help!

Hello, I'm also having an input issue with my MF-P01. Mine isn't getting input at all. I've cracked mine open and there doesn't seem to be any broken connections around the input jack. Have you opened yours? Sounds like maybe we both have bad input jacks. I've read it's not too difficult to...

I'm not getting signal from any input. No action from the indicator lights, though they do flash on briefly when the unit is powered on. Any suggestions? I also have an MF-P01 with the same problem.

Thank you! It is the Channel 1 input that is bad. I can still record to Track 1 through the guitar input on the back of the machine. Now, how to fix the input...
