Fulcrumkiller31 Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 X+Y axis stopped working randomly. Spent about 4 hours messing with drivers, finally looked underneath it and noticed a loose wire. Broken right at the socket. Only 6 months old. Currently overseas so getting a replacement to an APO would take 8+ weeks. Going to try for a solder and order another most likely. Eventually replace with something NOT winwing.

CaptHawk Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) That's an odd place for a break, unless there's movement in that area. Probably the flat part of the pin was already stressed or week and over the 6 months finally broke. Can't really see it in close so not sure if there's a temp fix.
