DTWD Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Hello, I was was doing some gaming today and all of a sudden the throttle slider (for zooming) started spiking. The LED's are already off but it won't go all the way to max (goes about 95%) and wobbles at full and middle positions. Also, the pinkie switch on the left hand side of the throttle has gone all floppy and won't work. I am imagining I am going to need some spare parts, so does anyone know what the switch, and I assume, potentiometer is?

Lucky Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 How old is it. Can you open a ticket with Thrustmaster. They are very good about giving out replacement parts.

DTWD Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Quite old, 3 or so years for a guess. I honestly can't remember, but it's been a long time as far as warranties go. I suppose there is nothing to lose in raising a ticket. Regards [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sungsam Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) If you have the "touch" you can disassemble the unit and use a contact cleaner without oil, to spray on potentiometers and sliders. This will stop spikes, your pots have developed dirty inside them. Thats how I maintain my X52 perfect shape for almost 5 years. Edited March 9, 2015 by sungsam DCS F16C 52+ w JHMCS !
