Also, be sure to UNCHECK the Enable Clutch Mode box in the Saitek Control Panel/MFD Tab. So you will need to assign this in the Track IR software. I have assigned the mouse button on the throttle to center Track IR. This profile is used for someone who is using Track IR. Guess I'll have to ask Saitek technical support about that, but I doubt they'll be of any help now that MadCatz has somewhat taken over.I tried to match the actual A-10Cs layout as closely as possible. There appears to be 32 wires coming from the throttle and I can't possibly know which one is the throttle button upwards. I took a picture of it, the connection area is highlighted with a red circle. They're bending slightly as the stick is being pushed, but I didn't find any incorrectly connected wire. I found a cluster of wires tied together that were coming from the stick, connected to a PCB above the display. I couldn't even find a way to pull it apart even after unscrewing all the bolts, as if something was holding it together under the top rotary area, but I could open it enough to peek inside and see that all the wires are always stationary in relation to the handle. So I finally gave it a try and after disassembling the throttle stick, I found out that the problem was not within it. If you don't have confidence in your electronics skills, you can probably still get Saitek to fix it, but since it is out of warranty they would likely charge you for the repair. #Saitek x52 pro throttle disassembly fullI don't recall off the top of my head the disassembly of the X52 but usually a full teardown will mean unscrewing the back of the base of the unit from the back, and unscrewing the throttle handle itself so you can pull the two opposite sides apart. In your case it is probably 2 or 3, since it depends on the throttle position. If you open up the base of the unit and see any broken wire or wire exposed through the insulation, this is probably the cause. In this case it is a simple fix to repair or replace the wire. Depending on the design, the way the individual unit was assembled, etc., the wire may kink or break. Since throttles are moving parts the wires inside move. The soldered connection may break over time, and it is merely a simple task of resoldering it.ģ) Wire failure. From what I've seen of Saitek internals, the hat switch assemblies don't seem to be high quality so this is a real possibility.Ģ) A soldering failure. Even if your X52 is out of warranty you may be able to order a replacement from Saitek for a small fee if this is the case. If the switch assembly is failing, you would need a replacement part. Throttles use 4-way switch assemblies which they solder to the board or to wires. Usually when you have issues like these there are several possible issues:ġ) The switch itself is dying. I'm doing post-production on my YT video of a teardown of the X56 at this very moment. Saitek gear is usually very simple to disassemble. Do I just unscrew the bolts below the stick (not the base) and slowly raise the upper part or is there a safer approach? #Saitek x52 pro throttle disassembly how toWhich is why I'm asking here: Has anyone had similar issues with it and knows how to fix it? I've tried other USB ports but the issue is the same so there's definitely something wrong in the throttle, but I can't find a propper tutorial on the throttle stick disassembly. I've had my X52 Pro for around 6 years now, used it for numerous flight and space sims and never had any hardware issues with it so far, and if I recall correctly the warranty was only for 3 years so I probably can't just return it to Saitek anymore. After that, I often need to move it all the way to the back for it to start being recognized, and then I can continue using it until I reach the peak throttle position again. After pushing the throttle stick forwards while repeatedly pressing or holding the throttle hat down, it usually stops being recognized when the throttle is near 100%. I've recently noticed that my throttle hat's 'down' position, along with the two bottom facing diagonals, isn't working as reliably as it used to.
