Broken S3 - cost to repair
Hi-
My studio partner has a well travelled and beat up S3 (missing fader caps, maybe bent too, some buttons are not working, etc). How much would it cost to have it fixed up to work like new? I understand this could be a ballpark based on a few different scenarios. Thanks, Josh |

Buttons and fader caps I don't know about, but faders are easy to replace. You can buy them yourself, flip the S3 upside down and swap them out. About $50 each.

Mmhmm. Figured that was the deal. Wondering if buttons go that is a PC board swap for the areas affected, or something else. And general cost for those type of things too.
And thanks for the reply. |

Re: Broken S3 - cost to repair
Digging up an old thread cause I'm in a similar position. I've got two broken switches and an OLED display that's gone out on my S3. The switches still work, though one got a little flakey with me yesterday.
Anybody ever get these fixed, if so, how'd you go about it? Thx!

Re: Broken S3 - cost to repair
Its a little-known fact that Avid offers a reasonable(compared to one off repairs) support contracts for most of its products. The Dock is $99, S1 $129 and the S3 $249. This gets you advanced replacements too where available including shipping. You would have to wait at least a month after taking it out though before using it.

Re: Broken S3 - cost to repair
Therse are not really Artist Series anymore ;-) Without a support contract you have shipping both ways plus a standard charge for anything that needs fixing. I don't know what that is except it's not pretty and certainly more than these yearly fees.
