Introduction

If the PCB (printed circuit board) on your Mayflash Arcade Stick F300 is causing an unstable connection to your console and needs replaced, use this guide.

The PCB plays a critical role in connecting, interpreting, and transmitting user inputs to the gaming system. If it has been exposed to excess moisture, extreme temperatures, or other issues it will cause difficulty connecting the controller or otherwise unreliable use.
