I can confirm that this happens. Fader 9 on my S3 randomly fails and starts working again. I just ran thru all of the paces of the S3 setup fader mode after it continuously failed on me and wouldn't reset. It now seems to be working and when i tapped around the fader the db value popped up as you said.

I've been debating on ordering a new fader but from all I've read, I wasn't sure if it was software or hardware related. I'm running Econ 3.6 and the updated firmware. Do you have any idea what it could be?

I was able to test it on our S3 yesterday, and as luck would have it, no faders went down all the time it was on.
I decided to do the tapping test anyway, and the device didn't react (nothing changed on the OLED).

So at least, it doesn't do it when the faders are "healthy", but I'll try it again if a fader should go down.

Well after my "tap-dance" and an upgrade to Eucon 3.6 all seems well for the moment. I will repost should my problems reoccur.

Thanks so far!

Had fader 4 failing again. I succeeded to reset the machine without having an immediate fail, and proceeded to do the tap test... Nothing, OLED doesn't budge.

For those that have replaced a fader on the S3 - can you post the part you used?

Was it this one (that's the fader used by the Artist series controllers):

As far as I am concerned....

I will replace faulty fader with a new one.
It is a actually simple.

However: 63€ not 23€ when ordered at Avid dealer in Yurp.

Darn, if I only I knew for sure it is hardware related (then I would still curse about poor build quality, but at least I knew)

Cheers

Georges
