Does anyone here currently have an MC-808?

I have one but the compact flash drive was removed and I am struggling to find a replacement part. (Roland just refer you to service centres now).

I am hoping someone could remove the bottom cover and take some photos of the CF reader and see if there is a part number. (I have found part numbers in the service manual but not getting far. Hoping a different part number may be visible).

Thanks.

But have you actually phoned them? It could be in stock but simply not listed...
Have you tried any of the listed service centers?

I was going by this on their site.
"If a part is not listed on our site, then we do not carry that part. We can no longer research or special order parts that are not listed here, and we just don't have time to answer questions about parts that we don't carry."

I have tried one service centre, and Roland directly but am not getting anywhere. I have a few more service centres lined up to try.

Right...

But, isn't the card reader on the main board assembly?
[edit: it's not ON the main assembly, but connected with CN15]
How the f** was that ever taken off?

Are these the parts you're looking for?

Code: Select all

03121689   COMPACTFLASH EJECTOR   ICM-MAE-R21
03121678   CARD CONNECTOR         ICM-MA2H-SS52-R21A
(from http://www.synfo.nl/servicemanuals/Rola ... _NOTES.pdf )

[edit 2] According to wikipedia what you're looking for is not so much the reader itself, but just a 50-pin connector and assembly that holds the card which can also eject it.

I have spent ages searching those part numbers without much luck over the past week (min qty 48 at one place). (Thanks for link but had already found that). I have contacted one company that supplies similar parts to see if they had an equivalent but have not heard back.

I was hoping for a photo to see what was actually removed originally but I think I know what is missing now.

I appreciate you investigating though BertKoor. At the moment I am stuck.
