Repair

On some more worn units, the rightside control stick needs to be reflown to the faceplate PCB. Picture can be seen in the Photos section.

The faceplate PCBs are interchangeable between all fiass Gen 4 entries. Only the options the unit was designed for will show up in the menu settings. Example: When putting the PCB of a f-CD05 into a f-MD07, the Aux-in settings won't show up.
