Ok thanks for the info. I put one end on the yellow and the other on the 6 different pin of the connector? That would tell me if the cable is broken inside ? How to know if it has a use? just by putting only one electrode on the end of the yellow wire and put the joystick on move the chair and see if there is a signal? |

Noooo! If all functions of the chair are working correctly, don't connect the yellow wire to anything - you will probably blow something! In all probability, given its original length and lack of any snapped end inside the joystick, it was never connected. Measuring continuity to what? What will it tell you? Nothing that I can see. I am worried that you are taking the joystick apart more than you need to. This is stressing the connections between the upper and lower PCBs, if you break one of the fine connectors it will be beyond your ability to fix. If everything is working as it should (and already you have the case open) put some insulating tape on the end of the yellow wire and put it back together for good. |

Much appreciation for your support Have a nice day! --- End quote --- Hi repairs, Sorry if I sounded panicked but I've seen people fix things, then push it one step further and break them in bad ways before - I've done it myself (several times!). Don't worry about the thread, it will never get deleted or closed so you can come back to it at any time. The only ones that get deleted are spam and similar, even when thread discussions get 'nasty' the Mods prefer to lock them rather than delete. The forum search feature is pretty poor, so it is easiest to find an old thread is by looking at your own profile - show posts -> messages or topics... https://www.eevblog.com/forum/profile/?area=showposts;u=1036387. I'm glad we could help you get up and running again. Do hang around, or at least log in occasionally. Best wishes! |
