july865 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) my left throttle on my WH is frequently unresponsive. i check it through the windows game controller and the throttle is not moving. i can also see some of the buttons glitch when moving the right throttle hat switch and the right comms switch. uninstalled, re-installed the drivers, etc, etc... i have trolled all sorts of forums, tried the TM 1.13 calibration tool found on ED's forum.... here im wondering if ANYONE has had the same issue and what they did to resolve the problem. my stick is WAY out of warranty. i have also contacted Thrustmaster but i dont feel like sending it to France for repairs as money is very tight right now. im sure just shipping will be alot, not to mention the cost of the repairs.

sobek Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Sounds like some wires shorting. Do you know how to handle a multimeter and a soldering iron? Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two.

july865 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 yes it do. very capable actually, but only if i know what to look for. and thank you for your quick reply Asus x99, i7 5930k, 32g mem, MSI 1070GTX, 970 Samsung M.2, LG 35in Ultra-Wide, TrackIR 4 Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobek Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I'd check all analog lines for visible damage (chafing, etc.). Also check soldering spots on the boards. Maybe you are lucky and find something visually. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
july865 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 i was very lucky that it did not turn into something VERY costly. I hope this saves anyone that runs across this thread. all i did was clean and scuff the grounding points on the backing plate, and scuffed up the connectors.
