So yesterday I decided to deal with the fallout from a movie that took us to a giant metal recycling plant in Western Michigan last summer. Needless to say, working in a superfund site didn't help the faders and I did have to ultimately avoid 2 faders that would jump up to maximum volume when I got around unity. I sprayed it like crazy to no avail. Very NG.
So having Yamaha in Buena Park as well as another Yamaha fixer in Orange (Paul Morte Tech Services 714/532-9540) in my back pocket, I felt that I should out of self education learn how to change the faders.
It was somewhat daunting but totally doable in less that 2 hours. And at least 1/2 hr was getting the mixer out of my rig.
I ended up swapping fader 1 and 5 for 15/16 which I really never use other than for slate/PL purposes.
My understanding was that the entire fader pack for all the faders was and entire unit but I found otherwise and it was really a story about taking off many screws. There were 2 screws per fader all of which needed to be taken off. Then an easy desolder and the swap was on.
It worked fine and now I know how to do this in the field.
I have to thank my dad who always one to tell me that "if somethings broken you may as well try to fix it, the worst thing you can do is break it more". I think the operative element in this is knowing when to call something broken.

Scott,
You are brave! This problem, is what I call "ghostly faders" - even when the fader is physically at the bottom of the track. That fader input will suddenly inject it's audio into your mix, outputs etc.
You can only see this in Studio Manager - where the fader will begin to rise on it's own without you physically moving it.
This is a recurring symptom of the 01V and happens after about two years of use or after being in very dusty, dirty environments.
I have always just sent it in to Yamaha, where they do a complete overhaul for about $400.

Actually, you can also see this without the assistance of Studio Manager. It is available for viewing on the board's own display by looking at any of the screens that show fader positions.
