swimbody Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Thrustmaster has been little help for me in my issue with my Warthog HOTAS throttle quadrant. Several buttons no longer work. I sent off for a new switch but now the coolie hat is fritzy. I live in Houston. Can anyone here recommend someone I could take it to with the hopes of repairing it? Cost a lot for a joystick and now it is worthless. Thanks in advance for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimbody Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 If anyone is willing to purchase it from me I will scrap it out for parts. Figured some serious home cockpit builder could use it. Everything moves correctly, just some switches are bunk. Give me a price and I will send it to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangi Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Have you tried opening it up and checking for pinched/disconnected wires? PC: 6600K @ 4.5 GHz, 12GB RAM, GTX 970, 32" 2K monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripRodriguez Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Rangi is correct, the most likely cause is damaged wires in the base. This isn't really common in Warthog throttles but very common in some others (with the G940 it's pretty much guaranteed to happen). If you really don't want to open it up and fix it I'd be interested in it if the price is really low, I could definitely use it as the base for my next throttle build! It wouldn't even much matter if the issues are serious as I'd be hacking the heck out of it =P If you still want to sell it for parts let me know.

swimbody Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 I've opened it up, got a replacement part from TS, no workie. Name your price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sokol1_br Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Inside right throttle grip has a small PCB with shift register for grip HATS and circuit for that "slew" thing. http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e27/hrvhegeykc/2_zpsad26f341.jpg~original If this PCB is defective the throttle will not work, like the joy don't work if grip is not attached, probable this PCB circuit complements the ones in PCB in throttle base. The only only to verify this is replacing that board (trial and error). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debolestis Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I'd buy it, but shipping to Europe will probably be insane. - Debolestis' Shapeways store - Debolestis' Facebook page - Suncom SFS and Talon restoration and mods - Cougar replacement gimbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripRodriguez Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Swimbody , I want it. Just have to figure a price. I've got three collectives and several throttles yet to build for my modular SIM rig. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Demo of my 6DOF Motion VR Sim: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
