Can you turn it off and fully control it?
you can't turn it off as there is no FBW mechanical backup in combat aircraft - why you can't turn it off in case of failure ? no need, there is triple hardware redundancy. the reason why combat damage can't knock out FBW is that in order to do that, the damage has to be so extensive that the aircraft is no longer flyable and the pilot has had to eject.

Thank you very much Tom, indeed i was just about to ask what would happen in case of damage..... Are these backup hardware allocated in different places?

If I recall correctly - the computer hardware is in one place. At this point i would like to know whether the F22 or F35 are like this. I mean, has this became the standard for american Jets?

As far as I know they are both like this yes. One thing I would add is that you can see in NATOPS that the FA-18ABCD certainly has or did have a physical mechanical backup to its horizontal stabs for pitch and roll control in the event of certain FCS failure. The FA-18EF which is very different to the legacy only has FBW however no FA-18s were unstable to the extent the F-16 was. With the F-16 there is no point having a physical mechanical backup because the pilot still wouldn't be able to control it..............and it would appear the F-22 and 35 are more like the F-16 in that regard....certainly the F-35 is.

So basically all an adversary needs to do is develop an EMP weapon of some sort, aim it at any top of the line US fighter and it will fall out of the sky.

If by that you mean 'anyone's top of the line fighter' rather than 'US', then sure. But as mentioned, there is EMP hardening in play. Those things may be sitting inside their own little faraday cages. So basically all an adversary needs to do is develop an EMP weapon of some sort, aim it at any top of the line US fighter and it will fall out of the sky.

No it can't. Software defined radio allows various RF functions to be performed by different RF components, but your radio component still isn't going to become a RADAR or an FCS. The FCS is already quadruple-redundant anyway.
