Dead Fader on Fader Pack

[engineerjoel]

Besides the Procontrol mysteriously freezing up, Now I've got a dead fader on one of my fader packs......though it does quickly slam to the top and quickly slam to the bottom during each time I power-up or cycle-power the unit. But after that, the fader is completely dead....the fader doesn't even move when run the "test Faders" under Utilities. [img]images/icons/mad.gif[/img]

Is this an easy procedure to replace? What's the cost?

Hi engineerjoel I've gone through a similar situation, I've ordered a new fader but when I opened PC to replace it I disconnected and re-connected the nonworking fader cable and it worked perfectly...

Steve,
Thanks for the info. I'll definitely give your recommendation a try. Hope the fix is that simple.

I have one fader pack I have replaced 3 faders and 1 that has not had one failure. Hmmmm..... Once I was out of warranty, the cost is about $200 if I remember correctly. I have had faders come back to life as well but it was just a last hurrah before it failed for good. Good Luck!!

Well, after several weeks of useless service, the Dead Fader has finally come back to life. I suspect that it may be that the connection is not quite
totally 100% secure. I haven't had time to dissasemble the unit to double check....just glad to see that's it's working properly again.
