The difference between FCM I and FCM II is not only the use of pusher. The vacuum calibration pads are also in different locations - in front in case of FCM I and in the rear for FCM II. Also the pick positions (coordinates) as well as location numbe

If I was to try and repair the board, I too would opt to use an adhesive and a press. I try not to use super glue for anything though, instead I would probably use a thin (low viscosity) epoxy that doesn't turn brittle after it sets. I would use a pr
