RE: Programming Futaba 6EX for an Axe 400
Not the first time I have heard of this. The E-flite gyros on the Blade 400 have a similar problem with a capacitor breaking off.
If you can repair it, then goop it with some silicone it should work properly. The LHS has repaired several E-flite's and they worked fine.
You might open the new one when it arrives and goop that one before using it.
If you plan on trashing the broken one, send it to me and I'll reimburse the postage. I'll attempt the repair and if no go, trash it here.
