Joystick repair

[CRTGAMER]

He didn't say that his PC wasn't detecting them at all. He's having range of motion problems in Window's calibration screen, which to me indicates that it's unlikely to be something like a short.

But if you just can't go all the way down, check your trim controls on the stick if you have any since that's a possible culprit if all your issues are with the Y axis.

Oop missed that. I do recall in Windows 98 the calibration was much more temperamental on the 15 pin game port controllers compared to Windows XP. If the OP's PC is a much older motherboard, CH put out an ISA gamecard with twin 15 pin joyports that has speed control capability to tailor it closer to the older mother board clock speed. Sometimes this would help in the calibration, but only for much older ISA slot PCs.
