Wire for X-axis (?) disconnected from Connector in Gunfighter
Posted: Sun Apr 15, 2018 4:32
Hello,
Last night while the stick was under some heavy use I noticed my X axis wasn't responding correctly (constantly moving hard to the left). After recalibrating, then updating firmware and recalibrating without being able to solve the problem, I opened the stick up to make sure all the connections were solid and noticed the red wire connecting to the Y PCB from the X PCB had been severed at base of the connector.
1. gunfighter mkII rev B (arrived late Jan 2018)
2. MCG v1.92.1
3. 1 30lb spring on both cams
4. #10 cams
5. latest versions of vkb software
6. Not sure what you are looking for in the joytester screens. It shows a solid horizontal line for both X and Y atm.
7. Not sure again for vkbdevcfg screens. The X axis seems totally unresponsive to the right, and to the left it jumps from the middle to the end of the range immediately.
I've disconnected the wire from both PCBs and I've removed the pin from the connector, but trying to work on or recrimp this connector is like doing brain surgery on an ant. I've been unable to locate a connector like this locally. Not even sure what it is called. Any idea what I can do?
I've only opened the unit up once prior to replace the stock springs and I was pretty sure none of the cables were being pulled or impinged. All of the other cables on the connector (and the other connectors in the unit) show no signs of wear and appear secure.
Hopefully the attached screenshots are descriptive enough.
