Section 3: Full Disassembly Of The Console - ChamSys QuickQ Series Service Document

Similarly, faders should show positive values only when being moved up, and negative
values only when being moved down. Faders behaving strangely will likely need
replacing, but can also be a sign of other issues.
TIP: When testing faders and encoders, move them slowly, as fast movements can lead
to inaccurate results and it can also be more difficult to observe their behaviour.
When running the test for the multi-function pre-set fader panel, the LEDs will light up in
red, green, blue, and white. Ensure all LEDs are lighting correctly. If not, they may need
replacing, as covered in section 4, below. Note that a whole row of LEDs not working
correctly is usually a fault with a single LED only. For more on this, see section 4.

Section 3: Full disassembly of the console.

Here are instructions for complete disassembly of a QuickQ console. The example is for
a QuickQ 20 console, but the QuickQ 10 and QuickQ 30 consoles are similar, and any
differences will be highlighted. Quantities of screws may vary in some cases, depending
on the console model. Note that in most cases for repairs, only partial disassembly will
be required, by following the relevant steps.

Faders and encoders are the most likely
parts to wear over time and require
replacing. These can be tested using the
corresponding front panel tests.
Encoders should show positive values when
moved in a clockwise direction, and negative
values when moved anti-clockwise. If mixed
+/- values are shown in each direction, the
encoders will need replacing, as covered in
section 4, below.
Just 4 tools are required for complete
disassembly of a QuickQ console, as pictured
to the left. From top to bottom, these are:
• 5.5mm nut driver*
• 8mm nut driver*
• PZ2 screwdriver
• PZ1 screwdriver
