pr3sidentspence Posted July 29, 2023 Posted July 29, 2023 (edited) One of my MFDs had two buttons (20 and 7) stop working. Thrustmaster was great about it and sent me a replacement. I still have, and use, the old one but I have to use a modifier to gain access to the GAIN and SYM buttons I sacrificed for 7 & 20. Has anyone ever fixed non-working buttons? I'm not bad (okay, I'm not hopeless) with a soldering iron, is there a way I could remap some of the BRT/CONT/SYMB/GAIN keys so that I could recover the use of the multifunction buttons?

pr3sidentspence Posted July 31, 2023 Author Posted July 31, 2023 So, I just took the plunge and was able to solder wires from the display control rocker pads to my non-working MFbuttons. This caused some weird things with unrelated buttons also getting pressed, but (by luck, I think) there was a unique button fired for every MFB from 1-20. Most of the rockers can't but used anymore but I am fine with this.
