X52 stopped working.

[Severum]

For some reason the pitch on my Saitek X-52 stopped working the other day while I was flying in Arma II. Every other button and axis works, however pitch up and down does not. I went into the stick properties and checked everything, it doesn't work. The Joystick is about 2 years old and is used almost daily. Not sure if there's a way to fix this or if I am in trouble. Any help would be appreciated.

i would say ur joy is screwed coz it might be a dead sensor... if its 2 years old try to fix it ursel :) maybe its a loose cable inside it, that one connecting sesor with a chip or sumfin. A bit of soldering and it still might be as good as new :)

Good luck with it thou :)

Is it not working at all? If it jerks around or jitters it may just be dirty and need cleaning. I had to do that with my X52's twist axis.
