I think with a servo valve seizure (or suspected one due to control malfunction), the drill on every helicopter I have flown is to deselect the hyds - in an aircraft with 2 systems it is a question of deciding which system is at fault.

It would appear that there maybe more issues with the 350 servos than just 'transparency' since a sticking servo valve would produce the 'locked up' controls symptom.
