VKB-SIM

Just recently my second Gladiator NXT stick (L hand) has started to do this thing where if I pull back on the stick (Y axis) the red and blue led's being to alternate flashing and the stick becomes unresponsive till I push the stick forward again.
I've tried to re connect it, different USB ports, reset my computer. None of this worked. I then tried to re calibrate it (about 5 times), I then flashed it to the newest version 2.025 set it to default settings and then re-calibrated again. Same thing.
My right stick functions just fine no issues. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Open up the base and check the 3 wires cable. If it's not broken check if it's plugged properly into the board. If it is make sure there's enough slack in the cable so the grip won't pull on it while moving around.

Thanks for the suggestion! I found that after opening up the base and examining the wires the black wire ended up getting severed. I'm in the process of trying to solder it together.

Update:
I soldered it back together and it's working again.
Thanks for your help!
