Whats your reading in central position either side? Should read pretty much 5k on all of them in central position.

Hmm OK...

So if I do central.. On the left stick as i look at it from the soldering side.

Closest to end
Left + centre = nothing
Right + centre = 5.6

Closest to side
Left + centre = nothing
Right + centre = 5.73


Right stick as i look at it

Closest to end
Left + centre = nothing
Right + centre = 5.69

Closest to side
Left/right + centre both nothing.

So your bottom lines are the issue something on that line is being pulled down to ground. time to trace that back looking likely for a bad resistor or shorted cap. something like that on that line.

Honestly not a clue what I'm looking at, I can't see anything massively untoward? Uploaded some higher rez photos of the pcb on either side.

Everything analogue related appears to run into this chip...



so worth checking all the caps around that. make sure none of them are dead short across. you could trace back the specific line most likely...

The caps look fine (to me :p but they're tiny and I don't have a lens to look through closer)

But I am wondering if the mark in the pcb to the left of the 2nd solder point by your accross, is affecting the line somewhere..

Its a 10 incher so not too big :D

I will dig it out at some point, I did pull the control panel board off it had a quick visual look, nothing obvious and yes I did check the plug fuse and the fuse on the board too :D

Before it stopped working it would crackle a little bit and cut out, the power light flickered etc, then it just stopped.

If its anything like my "little" 10 inch sub it weighs about a million KG... Probably not something we can simply send around cheaply... Unless we just look at the board I guess.
 
Hey Vince, not sure if you saw my message but I was curious as to whether it would be possible to change a faulty loose micro usb port on a Logitech G915 to a USB-C and retain full functionality? Love my keyboard but sadly it is out of warranty.

Probably viable, sorry if I missed you buddy I don't recall seeing the message. Let me see how doable this is.
