DOES A DM-3200 fader board 1 is compatible as the second fader board in a DM-4800

[Bowie]

Hello.

I have a DM-4800 with fader nr 14 getting sticky and slow.

I have tried tuner 600 spray and compressed air with no luck.

The fader feels like it´s mechanical wear or damage.
All other faders work fine.

I have found a DM-3200 for parts sales.

My question is will fader board 1-8 from the DM-3200 align with the midi send and receive messages as i installed it as second fader board 9-16 in my DM-4800?

Any help would be welcome.

Thank you

I have foun

Hi Bowie,
On DM-4800, fader 1-8 and 9-16 use same board as fader 1-8 on DM-3200
PCB Fader FE8 - CI E901641-00A ( I have cheked the service manual) for me same hardware even if part list are same with G suffix for DM-4800.
for me you can swap.

The problem you have could be hardware failure on electronic side (not fader mechanic itself).
Changing the board is a good solution.

But i stil don´t know if the midi messages send abd receive will align from 3200 board 1-8 if installed in my 4800 as sevond board 9-16.

I use the remote controll daily.

Never use tuner spray on faders! Caig DeoxIT, a special spay for this... DeoxiT Fader F5 and Fader grease.

Midi message are manage by firmware and are not directly manage by the fader board. Fader send an even and this even produce others to different software module.
You can swap the board.

Thank you, i got the info at the forum here to use tuner 600 spray.

When i take of the fader cap and lift the metal handle, move up and down, i don´t feels the same resistance anymore.
Could it be that the carbon surface factiry layer of grease is gone?
