!! Always be careful about static electricity when taking apart electronics... I completely mess that up in this video (without consequences but still)

The super responsive pads of a Maschine mk3 will slowly but surely become a little less sensitive over time. I'm a sensitive guy, who likes to play with feelings and emotion, so obviously I had to see if I could fix the problem now that it popped up again. I opened the thing up (for the first time ever) to see if replacing the pad sensor sheet with a new one from mpcstuff.com would work...
