it could be only a gummed up switch pad
I believe those switches are a carbon filled rubber pad on the underside of the push buttons that makes a circuit on the pcb and over time the pcb gets gummed up from the rubber. ? you might try taking it apart and cleaning the pcb traces that make up the switch contacts and the conductive black rubber on the push buttons using cotton swabs and rubbing alcohol. do not aggressively scrub the black rubber or you will scrub the conductive carbon particles out of the rubber. ? just a thought.

Hello,
?
My FT-60R's monitor button stopped working, so I couldn't get into the settings menu.
?
I took it to Yaesu for repairs, and they came back saying that I need a new main board due to water damage, and that replacement cost is about $240+
?
Does anyone have a board for sale, or know where I can get one reasonably cheap keeping in mind that the price of a brand new radio is: $155.00?
?
Thank you - Samer
