Hmm, that sounds like a tough one to try and fix then, best bet is to send it to CC to fix it unfortunately. Sounds like its going to cost $50 due to the pcb being damaged.

The trouble is no-one has a clear pic of the MM cicuit board (undamaged), and without that it is impossible to say where the wires need to be soldered on. Better to get it professionally repaired than to mess it up and have to pay $50 anyway.

My mm control did the same thing only it was not crash damage the wires just wiggled off plus its a pita to solder the wires without burning the switch wires, I never liked that those were so close

Mine snapped off to at the board however the board was ok - I just soldered across and use the battery as on/off - I figure it will last a while and then have to pay $50 for a repair...

Too bad I didn't think to grab a more detailed pic of the switch wires and solder points...
