CH Fighterstick repair

[Kung Fu]

CH will refurbish your stick for a price.  I had the top hat switch go out on mine after 7yrs of use.  Got it refurbished and now its like new.  They will clean the pots and the outside as well.  Contact them and compare.

Uptown, while it's true the stick doesn't produce any power, power is being supplied by your rig to the stick.  Once powered the stick then returns some of that power back in the form of signals, at a much lower voltage, we're talking milivolts.  Power being supplied is much higher (in order to illuminate the lights).  The return signals (voltage) sent by the stick back to the rig after running through a series of diodes and/or rectifiers, thus seriously reducing the DC voltage signal.

Best guess Bro, without testing the diodes, is when the stick was slammed a diode and/or rectifier was damaged.  It's real easy to kill one, hell by touch alone (been there done that  )  Generally if the diode is located on a PC board, ya end up replacing the entire board.  Probably better to just replace the stick than have to disassemble, break solder joints, then reverse, hoping everything goes back together without leftover parts

I watched my CH stick seriously slammed by a 5'10" tall women and it still works like a champ...  To be honest I think it fixed a dead spot in my throttle... <S> CH Products.

I slammed it on the desk last night and now it's shutting down my computer. At computer startup this morning I got the message to the effect that too much electrical current was coming from USB device and computer will shut down in 10 seconds. I unplugged it, restarted computer, plugged it back in and it locked computer up.

My question is, has this happened to anyone else in the past? Can it be fixed? It's not under any warranty so that option is out.
 Can these things be rebuilt, or do I just need to get another one?

This is the 1st time I've ever slammed a JS down and this is what happens....just my luck 

i still have 2 holes in the wall right next to my computer where i slammed my old joystick through it. thankfully it wasn't my ch.

The real question, at least as far as I'm concerned, is:

What is it about this game that causes grown (I'm assuming...) men to throw and slam their joysticks around like a child throwing a temper tantrum.  Holes in walls?  Joysticks ripped asunder?


Say it with me:

GRUUUZE FRABRAAAA


try again:

GRUUZE  FRABRAAAA

or you could start singing:  "I feel pretty - oh so pretty!"

"Gruuze Frabaa" is an ancient eskimo word that mothers say to their children to calm them down.  (that is if I remember Jack Nicholson correctly . . . )

I hope you dumped her for such contempt for your stick.

So if USB has no current and/or power coming through, how does a USB  charge your cell phone.....?  

i.e.- Plugging iphone into to USB to Sync it also provides enough current to charge battery......correct me if I am wrong ?

The cord/connection provides no power. All the power comes from the power supply in the computer, through the cord, into the iPhone.

[SWrokit]

Iphone??  

Have no idea what so ever what Iphone has to do with anything.

Uptown, my bad Bro.....you can without a doubt send your stick to CH for refurbis for a resonable fee.  Beats replacing hands down. 

Iphone.......LMFAO!!!
