View button broken

Hey. Today when i was mixing suddenly the view button got pushed down inside the mixer. I have tried to open up the mixer but there is now way either from top or bottom to get to it.

Anyone knows what to do?

Have tried everything to get it up. Even with fishing line :squinting_face_with_tongue:

Mixer is prime 4 +

You can use the touch screen while you’re thinking about sending it in for repairs…

Moin @Petrichor,

how about some strong adhesive tape and a small tool (e.g. pliers, tweezer)? With the tape you can lift the button and with the tool you can control the button.

But pls. be aware that the button will slide back into the chassis sometimes.

It’s a weak point in general of the PRIMES.

Good luck and brgds BeatMaster

Better to just pull the thing apart and inspect why the button collapsed in the first place.

My advice to any Engine user (who isnt using lighting regularly) is to use the touch screen button full time and save yourself the risk of the view button breaking.

Moin @STU-C,

I had the problem with the “Key Lock / Key Sync button (31)”.

Imo for these buttons are no touch points on the touch screen available.

This button is also duplicated, at least for a while now…

Moin @REN3MARTIN,

how is life?

Thank’S a lot, you are so right.

I just tried it out at the gear. Using the “G Clef” and / or “Sync” symbol: It’s a beautiful combination :innocent:

Now I’m only missing the keys as a bar / bank to jump between the keys and not stepping from key to key.

Enjoy the day and brgds from HAM

@BeatMaster All right, thanks, I hope you are too.

The problem is that several people have reported that the P4’s view button is sinking, and I just wanted to offer a solution while it’s being repaired, which is recommended. I haven’t read about anyone having it broken about the button you mention, but who knows, at least it’s good to know it’s duplicated… just in case, I’ll use them gently. Regards.

Moin @Ren3MARTIN,

thanks, I’m fine.

Good to know that there is a point on the touch screen.

And better to know that there is a point on the touch screen for the key lock / Key Sync as well.

On my P4 both Key Lock / Key Sync buttons slipped under the chassis. So I lifted them back with some adhisive tape and a tweezer. Now the buttons are a little bit lopsided / adjusted improperly but they work again.

I think all buttons / pads must be touched gently and it’s a weak point in general of the PRIMES.

Enjoy the day and brgds BeatMaster
