had the same problem I used an old saitek cord with the housing intack and rewired no problems since,also hot glued the wires down

Use firefox instead of internet explorer.

Yeah if I have the time I will probably do the same when fixing or a blob of silicon over the wire retaining slit

  Perv,

  The blob of silicon would be the better solution,hot melt tends to dry out and lose adhesion over time. It's good to hold things temporary but is likely to separate and you'll have the same problem all over again.A thin piece of duct tape would work better than hotmelt IMHO.


  I used to use plenty of hotmelt glues but never relied on it as a permanent solution,it was used mostly to hold things in place until the "real" adhesives took set. I've mounted hundreds of decorative doors in upscale kitchens and used hotmelt to "hold" the doors until either the adhesives set or I could go around the panels and put screws in from the backside.

Just a thought:

Thin wires are a benefit in designs where bending and flexing are prevelant. A thick wire would develop hight stresses than a thin wire.

Yours might have a wire that was routed improperly causing a problem.  Don't chuck them, see if you can figure out where teh break occured. It's probably worth fixing.

the wire fix is easy it's the spring that pop when you open them up and didn't see where they came from. It's not that hard to figure out though but when it happens you say** what was that. Also placing them over a garbage can helps to work on them,you have to turn then upside down to get them open. Finding the right size can was the hard part for me because I went to homeboys site and read the write-up on how to fix them.

I look at it this way I owned analog set for 6 years maybe longer and know usb for as long and that's the only thing I had to fix. I'll stick with CH made in USA and don't have to replace them every couple years like others.


The best thing about them is if you take advantage of the CH Control Manager and learn how to use this program. There are endless things that you can make them do if you take the time to learn how.
