I didn't realize that I had to remove the rubber that is taped down to the chassis in order to access the FSR contacts.... was hoping they would be inside the case itself. The chassis merely houses an Earth tap, a ribbon connector to/from the FSRs, and a bit of shielded cable that exits out of the chassis to the SDS7. Huhn.

Before I attempted prying the rubber surface off and risking damaging it, I tried the Selector Pad on a second SDS7... and was surprised to see that Selector Pad buttons 2, 6, 10, 14 (basically, the second column on the Selector Pad) which didn't work on the first SDS7 worked on the second SDS7... however, pad buttons 9, 11, 13 which did work on the first SDS7 now didn't work on the second SDS7 !!!!

So, this points to an issue on the SDS7's themselves I would think. Either the connector on the back of the SDS7 cases or a component inside the Brains needing attention...

Thoughts?
