Mayflash F500 PCB Replacement

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

The PCBs in the Mayflash F500 handle the headphone port and the menu controls with switches for the controller. If the switches are not working, or the headphone jack does not transmit audio, use this guide for replacing the PCBs inside the controller.

No background in circuit soldering or breadboard management required. Be sure to unplug the controller and any peripherals connected to it before opening this controller. As you are removing PCBs, make sure to keep careful track of orientation and location of the PCBs and wires that connect to them.
