BuzzU Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 It doesn't work at all or is just a weak spring? Even brand new that switch feels weak compared to all the rest of the toggle switches. Did you try Thrustmaster? Buzz

BitMaster Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 Back in the days 199x, TM sent you the whole wiring + springs + Eprom + rubber feet + + + ALL FOR FREE, all you needed was give them a call between 5pm and 8pm when they had "service hours". Let's hope that spirir of support is still present. It was a main factor when I bought this gear. Support !

bn880 Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 Ouch, this switch would work fine just you need to resolder the wires https://www.digikey.com/products/en?keywords=EG2387-ND%20 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

How do you go about finding a replacement switch? Where would I start? I am sure I will find more issues as I am buying another set for my nephew so we can fly together, formation. I am here to fly..

bn880 Posted December 26, 2018 Posted December 26, 2018 Hi Buzzman, well I just found out/saw your post. :D You generally have to check the switch mechanical and electrical properties by looking at the old one and attempting to match the parameters on sites like Digikey, Mouser etc. Helps a bit to have knowledge in Electronics. Often you can even just read the part number on the old switches, but that doesnt work on the warthogs very well as they saved on the casing markings and didn't differentiate properly. If all else fails, Thrustmaster has all the parts, but it costs more as you experienced. If you need a specific other switch LMK, I can probably get one shipped cheaper than TM. But I assume you are not comfortable resoldering wires onto switches? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
