There are a few questions to be answered:
  • Was any cockpit maintenance recorded in the tech log?
  • Who swapped the panels? An Indonesian engineer?
  • Was the Indonesia based engineer type rated and company approved?
  • Were appropriate maintenance testing procedures carried out on the reinstalled panels? (because it's mandatory that engineers perform installation functional checks on all affected systems when panels have been disconnected).
  • Were the tech crew asked to account for their actions in accepting an aircraft with an obvious deficiency?
airsupport, this isn't "nothing".

It's a major breach of safety.....made even worse if the answer to even a single one of the above questions is "No".

The aircraft should have been decked in Indonesia until the panels were refitted and tested.
