S4 Fader Slider Problems

[Rockson]

I never had this probem and its started happening now all of a sudden!? what is the solution? A firmware update? can that be done?

My problem seems to have gotten better than it was the first time i posted about the problem. I think a combo of calibration and time somehow fixed it.

Hi Guys,

Sorry I've been very busy and not around on the forum at all.
Did you guys get your problem sorted out.

I met up with a guy on my facebook page, same problem, he ended up replacing his.

I found one thing to be cause of the fader problem. The headphone jack. Loosen the little thingy that tightens it up.
If it's too tight it seems to make it worse.

I couldn't afford being without mine going all the way back from SA to NI.

Hope you all are sorted.
Sliders will probably be available to replace.

Cheers!

I had this exact same issue, was definitely a hardware problem. Had my unit refurbed by NI and haven't had an issue since it's been fixed ~4 months.

I have the same problem but put some sticky tape on one end of the slider, the tape keeps getting pushed back but works 95% of the time as long as I don't slam the slides.

Slide is Deck A but happens at the bottom volume end and not the top. Definitely needs like a hardware issue and the fader needs replacing. I got around it with the tape who haven't bothered complaining about it..

this is exactly why I will never go completely digital, you don't have to worry about this problem with an analog mixer

I had the same issue, I rebuy insurance/warrenty every year from Long-Mcquade (Canada)

They sent it back to NI and they could not fix the issue so I got a replacement from NI, new in box!!

$40 a year, in store replacement if it needs to be sent off to NI

This is a huge problem with the s4 that has been discussed many times before.

Poorly built faders. Dust is usually the main cause.

I bought an s4 recently, fully aware of these problems. But I protect my s4 from dust. I dont let other people touch it. and I trust that DJTT and NI will help me if I ever run into this widely occurring issue.

i´ve protected mine since day zero with a decksaver, and also i transport it in a hardcase. I´ve nursed it (i dont slam on the faders neither do anything rude) but the problem is here!. They´ve replied me and my unit is going back to NI for testing and repairing (and hopefully, replacement)
