Yoke Problem

A serious problem with my yoke has arrived and its getting worse. About 3 months ago couple of my buttons on my yoke would not work. Ive had this yoke for about 3-4 years. My best guess would be the things are worn out. Now a new button is missing and its a problem because its the hat switch. I cant pan to the left anymore and its makin me mad. I have CH products yoke.

 

Is this problem most likely worn out recievers, or could I clean them out... Or would it just be reasonable to get a whole new yoke.

 

thanks!

Typical the CH buttons should not be bad even after many years.

Since it is "couple of buttons" it may not be the buttons them self, but may be a board/connector.

 

Tip 1:

Open the yoke disconnect/reconnect each connector a couple or times, in an attempt to clean the connectors.

 

 

Before put back skreews, test the yoke, mecanical part must be exact in correct possition. A good handy people can fix it proper together.
