I have a Saitek Pro Flight Multi Panel but recently the knob to select alt, vs, etc is stuck, how can I do in order to fix it??

Saitek has a 2 year warranty providing you have proof of purchase. You must pay for return shipping, which I have done 3 times already for this item. At the last lockup, I used a wrench for a day or two, and it got past the sticking part.

Stuck Knob Solution here! Hello, I had the same problem and found the perfect solution online (for just $2.99): In order to fix this problem you just need a larger knob which provides the extra leverage needed to (effortlessly) turn the knob. The original knob should come off easily by wiggling and pulling at the same time. The knob is attached to a 1/4'' shaft so any larger knob that fits a 1/4'' shaft will do fine. I used one from radio shack (Model: 274-407), which was 1/4'' shaft and it also contained a micro screw that you can tighten to ensure a snug fit. This knob slightly covers the labels (ALT,VS IAS, etc) but because these values show up on the screen as you tune to them, it's no big deal for me. Btw, I attempted to contact Saitek for a solution and shocker! -No Response.

I read somewhere that the cause for this is the glue used on the switch gumming up the knob. My fix is this: (1.) remove the plastic knob (2.) heat up the metal post on which the knob fits on with a lighter to melt off the glue (3.) use a drop of mineral oil or contact cleaner to lubricate the knob. This worked fine for me on a Saitek switch panel.

So, this is all I get when I scan....no directions, no idea what to do! Suggestions?:F1-F10=Options, Use ARROW KEYS to Toggle/Move, ESC=Exit

Have you moved the front the knobs in the front? They rotate and click, each knob click serves a different function and each knob rotate modifies the color. If through a combination of presses and turning you see now changes, then it is likely you have a faulty unit. NZXT was quick to help me with my issue, don't hesitate to contact them for an RMA.

This is what I found on the Saitek forum (http://www.saitekforum.com/showthread.php?t=13941). There does seem to be a fix, in essence, do not load the Saitek drivers and let FS recognize the new device and a couple of other recommendation about controls 9, 10 and 11 and about adjust the config file. I am in the same situation (Nov. 2011) as Android and I guess I will go ahead and buy it. Will post the results of the experiment. Regards, Yves.

I have MULTI-SWITCH-RADIO Panels All were working perfectly under windos7 but since I switched to Windows 8.1 none of them work correctly. Saitek will have to issue new drivers for Windows 8.1. Hoping it will not take too long!!!

I use Logitch Extreme 3D Pro and it works for me. Can't get the throttle to work on the joystick, but the key board works for that. Hope that helps.

Unplug and reset it. Put it on a level surfacenter and recalibrate it (left stick down and right, wiggle the right stick left and right) if this does not work, make sure the propellers are both good, and put on correctly. A goes with a, and b goes with b. Happy flying!

I have had the same issue. I press the shift key or another key to stop it. I'm not sure how to fix it.

There is a reset button below the select and start buttons. If you push that in that should reset the joysticks, I had that happen to me once and that's how I got it fixed.

While there are drivers on the Saitek site for windows 7 and XP64, I have not tried them. I only use it on an XP system that my flight simulator is installed on...Hope that helps.

We had the same thing happen. I think that when we were trying to figure how to fly, we pushed too hard on the remote and messed up the buttons, maybe even stripped them. We even had the middle dial changed to different directions, and still did the same thing.

O.k. Thanks! I'll try that tonight. I saw that short knob and I keep messing with it, but nothing is happening. I think I'm not doing it right though so I'll try again and maybe get someone to help me. When I jiggle and pull the knobit, do I pull on the base of the machine at the same time? Just making sure I understand what to do here. Thanks again!

character and keyboard viewer in the top bar, if it is a certain way, it creates a problem, go into keyboard preferences and check to see how this is set, I had some problem with that, once I got it set, it works great!

How? The manual stinks and I can't figure it out. I rotated it manually but it goes back to the original orientation.

Try to fast click again instead of slow clicking, it's switching between light modes. Wish this still work.
