Good work! My anode selector does not work, I am stuck in AUTO, mines mark iii but looks very similar. Anyone else has this issue?
This is what Olympus had to say about me replacing the mother board- what are your thoughts. The issue is indeed in the mainboard. However, we don't sell that part and even if you buy it elsewhere, for it to work properly, it will have to be configured with specific codes that only we have and that, as you must understand, are confidential, so, in this case, we suggest that you proceed with the repair.
