yell0w_lantern Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I just "won" a lot of non-functioning joysticks. A pro-line is one of them. What typically breaks on these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yell0w_lantern Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 What happens when you plug it in and play a game? They haven't arrived yet. From the description, it sounds like it doesn't do anything so at this point I'm guessing the wires are bad but I was wondering what else to look for when I crack it open. The picture of the PCB looks like standard Atari leaf switches and I know those can be problematic on the CX 40. The rest of the lot is a slik stik, 2 SMS controllers, paddles and a Flashback 2 joystick. I know the Slik Stik will be a new wire harness and some cleaning. The CX 40 will require checking the PCB over as well as the wire harness. The paddles will need cleaning and probably a new wire harness (probably not worth it so I may just use it for parts). IDK about the SMS controllers - I'll clean them and if that doesn't work then I'll try a new wire harness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yell0w_lantern Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) Okay, got all my junk and I must say that the Slik Stik and SMS pads seem to be completely fine. Flashback 2 joystick needs a new wire harness. The CX-40 is trashed. It looks like someone opened it up to do a mod and lost interest. The wires didn't even have the connectors anymore! The paddles need new wires and a cleaning. On to the Pro-line: It is dead. It does nothing at all. The wire was taped together a few inches from where it emerges. The leaf switches seem okay for the most part. It may just need a wire harness but it doesn't look like Best carries any for this model they only have the 6 conductor versions.

zylon Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I might have a pro-line cable in stock still. If you want one, I'll look for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
