Hey guys, my HRAP EX does 2 left inputs everytime i pull the stick left.
I think its fair to say that im not that familiar with the inner workings of a stick but i slowly hit the box for a couple times like how we used to hit TVs to make em work :wgrin: Anyway at the start it used to put 2 inputs for both up and left but now after a couple of hits its only doing it towards the left. I opened it up, just to see if it’s anything obvious but it looks like everything is connected right, all switches are ok and the connections to the stick seem solid.
You said you opened Case, checked connections, and said switches are okay.
Switches meaning Microswitches?
Then you asked for where the Microswitches would be?
But didn’t you just check them?
Laugh.
Well nevermind that.
Access the Microswitches of your JLF-TM-8T(-SK-K) by removing your Restrictor Gate.
After removing the GT-8F (Restrictor Gate), you will be able to lift off your MS-Y-3 Microswitch.
Then you open Microswitch to check.
This video shows how to open a Microswitch:

Even though in the video is a JLF-TP-8YT(-SK-K)(+GT-Y), and is modding an MS-O-2P Microswitch on TP-MA (Microswitch PCB Assembly).
You still able to do.
I meant the button switches that extend from the board, though admittedly they dont have anything to do with the stick. Ill check out the video, thank you!
Thanks a lot jdm714, you went though a lot of trouble
That was just picture a i found on the net since i didnt wanna take a pic and upload it but it does actually exactly look like that. Here it is in fact and it does have three thongs;
I removed the bottom right one, corresponding to the left pull of the stick, but as I said i can’t open it because of that small round screw. The serial on it reads as V-10-1A5, i searched the forums but to no avail…
JFL-TP-8YT have 2 contacts, normally open and ground.
ok. you can try this to see if it’s your PCB causing the problem.
get a piece of wire, power up your 360 and have your stick plugged into it. take the wire and connect it across the Normally Open and Ground sides of the spot where the switch was giving you problems.
if the problem persists, its the PCB or something else. if the problem goes away, then its your micro-switch.
basmane has a JLF-TM though, not JLF-TP.
The Microswitch on TP-MA, MS-O-2P, does indeed have two contacts.
But the MS-Y-3 should have three.
The picture that basmane just provided right now, confirmed to me that he has three, just as I thought it should.
I just questioned it because basmane posted a previous picture of Microswitch with two.
But well he was just wanting to show the silver tap thing.
So you think problem is with Microswitch that correspond to LEFT.
Well unsolder your Microswitches.
Keep track of them.
Rearrange your Microswitches.
Test.
If that same Microswitch exhibit problem, but happen new direction, then is Microswitch problem.
If DIRECTION LEFT is affected, then something else, could be wire, could be PCB.
