I just received my new purchased AH+FX.
However, the screen is a bit crooked. It’s quite an OCD trigger.
Anyone have any suggestions?
What should I do?

There’s no way to fix that, it’s the OLED frame and is a part of the screen unit itself. It’s a minor manufacturing defect at the fault of the screen manufacturer and short of physically replacing the screen on the control PCB there is no way to realign it so your options are to live with it or exchange it.
It does not impare the device functionality but it’s your money so I would weigh the annoyance of delays and exchange against the value of something you will notice less each time you look at it, unless you are the type of person who can’t handle it and will continue to notice this indefinitely and in that case, you already have your answer.

Yellow relics from the past, keep it.

Tilt your head when using it. Very slightly.
Actually, I dismantled the device all the way upto the screen and it seems it is actually fixable but not very easily. The LCD sub-PCB is soldered to the main PCB but the actual LCD is held in place with a metal housing which is secured to the LCD-PCB from underneath it with bent metal pegs. The problem is, to get to the metal pegs, LCB-PCB needs to be unsoldered.
I think I will fix it at some point but not right now. I’ll make an update here sharing the process when I get to it. I’ll try to disrespect the OCD for the time being. I just hooked it up to my Machinedrum and it is just so amazing, I can not get myself to do any repairs at this point.
I was thinking of getting a compact sherman or a moonwind mk2 and I’m so happy for getting this now because it sounds amazing.

I just meant that the entire assembly including that frame is part of the screen unit so there is no reasonable way to fix it short of voiding your warranty but if you’re willing to go that far then anything can be fixed. It’s awesome that you’re enjoying it, have fun man!
