== Mod-wheel / bender ==

If the mod-wheel has no hearable effect, but is movable and snapping towards the middle, the small black hexagon screw
If then the bender has a hearable effect, but gets stuck or moves to its middle very slowly, the cause can be a stuck axis of the pot. To solve this, open the hexagon screw again, and also other screws so you can disassemble the bender parts. Put a suitable contact spray (I've used WD40) onto the axis of the pot. Turn the axis a minute or so back and forth until it's getting at least a bit more movable. After some hours the contact spray will become even more distributed by itself between the axis and the pot housing, now the pot will be easy movable.
The forward-pressing feature of the bender can also do just nothing: There is a small pressure sensor. The piece of ribbon inside seems to lose it's ability for appropriate conduction over time. It is taking apart in the following two pictures:▼
▲The forward-pressing feature of the bender can also do just nothing anymore: There is a small pressure sensor in the mod-wheel assembly. The piece of ribbon laying inside seems to lose it's ability for appropriate conduction over time and has to be replaced. It is taking apart in the following two pictures:

== Leaked caps ==
In my case, there was cracking sound and suddenly no sound at all, because of leaked caps C11 and C12: They damaged the conductor beneath. Remove the faulty caps, check the conductor, and replace the caps with same capacity and same voltage or higher voltage.
