Title: Find Replacement Component/Component Identification for FLIR T4xx/B4xx Camera
Post by: Chanc3 on April 12, 2016, 02:50:20 pm

Hello everyone

I've stripped down a B4xx series camera today as the operator was complaining that the down movement on the joystick was not working. Upon further investigation, it does work correctly if you apply a little bit of pressure and lightly tap down. I took apart the camera to identify the component as I believe one of the internal contacts is failing - funnily enough, this is the 3rd or 4th T4xx/B4xx I have seen with a broken joystick. I'm not an electronics expert, so don't know the correct terminology to use when looking for parts, so I'm hoping someone here can help identify the joystick I need to replace - please see the photographs below:
