BladeLWS Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) Has any had any issues with the Hat 3 on the Warthog Stick (lower right one). In the past couple of days the positions to activate the switch have changed (to press up I have to press to the top left). Now left and up have merged into one and bottom and right have merged also. Up and left I have to press pretty hard to activate. Does anyone know if that Hat cover can be removed so I can see if its a hardware problem or just some dirt in there? Thanks Edited May 23, 2011 by BladeLWS
BladeLWS Posted May 23, 2011 Author Posted May 23, 2011 Well quick update. I went ahead and took the stick covers off and there was a wire under the spring for that hat, which would probably explain why the buttons were acting up from poor contacts.. When I removed it the wire came off the solder (not a very good solder job on that one, and I see a few others that are suspect). Going to attempt a quick solder job.
BladeLWS Posted May 23, 2011 Author Posted May 23, 2011 Success! Even though I am not the worlds greatest solderer (OK I probably am the worst...) The stick works prefectly now! It would behoove Thrustmaster to think ahead next time on placing those wires so close to the springs. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us
