TM HOTAS CMS Problem

[Quantenpresbyterianer]

Hi Pilots,

 

I have a minor problem with the CMS switch.

When pressing it down it gets stuck and wouldn't release automatically. I have to use two fingers to pull it out.

Injecting some machine oil brought no improvement.

I was looking for a disassembly instruction on the forums, but wasn't successful.

Did anybody ever disassemble the stick and has instructions, or should i just try and hope that no springs bounce out.

Nice video, but dont show what he want, how open the grip to access the CMS HAT. :)

 

This picture show that open the grip is not complicated, but for access the CMS is need remove the shift register PCB.

Maybe is a good idea get a replacement CMS from Tm first to avoid do this disassemble twice, since is probable that the tacit membrane in central CMS click are defective - loose his coil effect - and are note possible to fix.
