jgbsound Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Hey does anyone else have an AVID S3 controller board? The 16th fader just malfunctioned and just pegs the fader at +12 (you actually hear a thunk when it does it). Has anyone else experienced this? What's so annoying is that the board is less than 2 years old. I tried resetting EuControl but to no avail. I also powered off the machine and rebooted my system thinking that perhaps the driver was being wonky. After a bit, you can hear the motor in the fader buzz just a bit, then the fader pegs back up to +12 again Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Try testing the faders using the utility mode in the S3. Here's how to do it: http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/how_to/S3-Utility-Test-Mode If that doesn't work the fader might need to get replaced but it's a common problem on icon boards as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Wilkinson Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 I had a similar problem with a fader on my Command 8. Opening the unit and reseating the faders plug into the board did the trick YMMV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgbsound Posted August 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Thanks guys. I'll give this a try. Weird thing is that I shut off the system, and let it cool down (it was a particularly hot day), and now it's behaving itself. I'll keep testing.
