JackFlash Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 I noticed that the Warthog was slightly off center when i took the A-10 up earlier today. I opened the control settings in Windows and as I suspected, the center was off to the left. I tried to configure it and the crosshair jumped from one corner to the other. All of a sudden i heard a cracking sound and everyting, buttons, axis stoped working. Is it dead or may there be a way to bring it to life? :cry::shocking: My latest project, the Multi Function Button Box can be found at Kickstarter.
JackFlash Posted April 30, 2016 Author Posted April 30, 2016 I opened the stick up and a small part of the circut board fell out... :huh: Guess it's doomed... My latest project, the Multi Function Button Box can be found at Kickstarter.

JackFlash Posted April 30, 2016 Author Posted April 30, 2016 The first two is what my looks like. It looks like the magnet came loose (now attached to the screw). The circut is the one next to the coin. Found the last image onlie. That what´s suposed to look like. I can replace the small circut board, but i have no idea how to attach the magnet back. Will Thrustmaster send such pieces to customers? My latest project, the Multi Function Button Box can be found at Kickstarter.
Lausbub78 Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 I had the magnet coming lose once too. I put it back with Superclue ,it didn't come lose again since I've done it more than 3 years ago. I think it should be no problem to get the parts replaced.
Sokol1_br Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) Try re-solder this circuit - is the Melexis 3D sensor. You can buy a replacement, but this kind of sensor need programming and a expensive programmer. So ask for Thrustmaster for new one if this stop work. The magnet is fit in movable part o gimbal, he swings over the magnet. What happen is probable the magnet came loose and are attracted by the bolt and when you move the stick to test the magnet was forced against the sensor removing then from PCB.

JackFlash Posted April 30, 2016 Author Posted April 30, 2016 What is the best way to reattach the magnet? It's a bit greasy from the oil. Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk My latest project, the Multi Function Button Box can be found at Kickstarter.
Sokol1_br Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 Clean the magnet and the local for attach with isopropyl alcohol and use CA glue or Epoxy.
