Default Re: Faders - D-COMMAND issues

We've tried resetting the defaults on the board and ran Vegas mode and all the other utilities. It seems like the affected faders are the first 3 faders starting at the leftmost one on the main module. The expansion doesn't seem to be affected at all. I've attached a photo of the affected faders.

Hi,


I have fixed some of mine by removing them and stripping apart and giving them a good clean and lubricate with switch cleaner. they do get a build up of fluff and dust inside but a good clean and lube often fixes and also makes them smoother to use.


Failing that its replace them.


Its not that difficult to get them out. unscrew the main panel and unscrew the individual faders. lift the panel up and if you've got small hands you can unplug the faders and remove them.
