Message: [QUOTE="alainsenna, post: 11060618, member: 243498"] Hey guys, I have just fixed mines and confirm the glue trick works, the washer solution above is genius and the next time mines needs doesn't i will be doing this, regarding the glue, make sure its the correct type, i.e plastics, don't apply straight to the encoder wheel, hold encoder up to a light put some pressure on it and the cracks will show up as light shining through, very important as mines had more slits than I original noticed, on the circle wheel but 2 also on the shaft itself which is the main culprit as this is what causes it to wobble when it spins, be very careful setting alignment back up, theirs a great video showing how to do this, as the first time i fixed it, tried the wheel and it wouldn't even calibrate fully so i had actually made the problem worse, apply the glue to a toothpick or similar small precise instrument, cotton wool bud will do, and then apply the glue, do not glue the inside of the encoders shaft as you will have problems fitting back onto the shaft, this fix works, not sure how long it will last, but from my experience, the washer trick will be a better longer lasting fix, good luck guys, and anyone with same problem, bare in mind if its in warranty don't open it up as Logitech will replace the unit no problems, ONLY DO THIS IF OUTSIDE WARRANTY, never through away a good wheel for a 10p/10cence part, good luck guys. and one last piece of advice once you get into the internal of the base unit, the encoder is covered by a little black box, this is very easy to broke, i did it, the you tube videos i watched also did but tried to cover up the fact he had just snapped it off, there's a way to get into it properly but it involves taking more parts from inside away to give more space, its no big deal its just to keep dust from blocking the sensors ability to read the spaces on the encoder wheel, you can simply place back on top and it will stay in place and keep dust out, but i wish i knew hoe to get it off properly before i did my repair, also one thing to note, may just be a placebo affect, but i feel my wheel is ten times better, more precise, more feedback strange could just me, PEACE GUYS, and happy racing. anyone wanting advice let me know, i have never tried to fix an electronic device before, so don't be sacred guys its a very easy thing to do, and very satisfying.
