Hey all, so my joystick stopped working suddenly and I thought it was just the PCB assembly. It came today and I replaced the old one. Still nothing. What else could it be? I took my whole stick apart and this is the only other thing I think it could be. Sorry stick noob here so I dont know what this part is called… So here is some pictures!
This is the part that the PS button and the turbo are on also (which work just fine)
Could it just be my wire harness connecting my joystick to this chip?
If so, I have seen the wire harnesses for sale but they only have one side that is assembled while the other is just loose wires. Where can I get one with both sides attatched?
USB cord, USB port, console?
Well, everything works on the stick, except the directions. So i replaced the PCB assembly for the joystick. nothing. The power still works, and all the buttons still work. My console is still powering the controller, as well as all my other controllers so I do not think that would be it. Keyword think… heh.
LS - DP - RS
Your joystick slide switch is set to RS
Set it to DP
Have it always set to DP
would have saved you 15 bucks
Yeah… I’ll admit… I must be stupid as shit. jfc that was it…
Where the PS button is at there should be a switch that has three different choices: LS, DP, and RS. Set it to DP which should be the middle one.
Ah the infamous LS, DP, RS dilemma. I remember when I had that problem/dumb switch setup;however, I didn’t take my stick apart and take out the turbo panel pcb…
xD well over this last week I have learned much about the mythical insides of arcade sticks… and the LS DP and RS switch… Thanks guys haha
