EDIT: dont open Your stick
all info collected, see below.
Hey commanders
If You happen to have x56 stick, can I beg You to open it up and simply tell me what are markings on those 3 electronic elements? No need to unplug anything, just need to unscrew few bolts. Only svrews on the bottom of stick + 4 holding electronic board. As on photos below.
Stick in question. Gray one from logitech will do too.
This is what You will see upon opening. All needed left is to unscrew 4 bolts holding green board. Note that after doing that board will not fell off, its fits tightly on 2 of mountings so firmly pull it.
And then simply turn it to see electronics. Dont touch chips with Your fingers. Hold board on the edges. Nothing should happen anyway but better safe than sorry.
All i need to know is markings on those 3 elements. Or at least on those two on the top (on Your board there will be some chips, they are gone on the photo). The small is much less relevant. I beg You please.
In return I can either help You filling You carrier with tritium (ok not whole ofc), or give u a lift with one, well be helpful ingame, or actually guide You with modding of Your x56 or thrustmaster t16000 hotas.
Below You can see tutorial for modding/fixing of thrustmaster t16000 hotas and its yaw axis issue. Basically replacing potentiometers with magnetic sensors. Did the same thing for TWCS (t16000 throttle). Working flawessly for hundreds of hours. Its example how i can help You modding or fixing stuff You want (if its not one of these two hotas we can have a video chat or sth).

Rationale:
I managed to get my hands on broken saitek/logitech x56 hotas and trying to revive stick as an upgrade to my old t16000 setup.
Its being recognized by computer and everything works except of stick's main 3 axis - XYZ. Turned out that someone has soldered flash memory chips in place of magnetic sensor. Go figure. I need to know what model of magnetic sensor chip has been used (i have candidate but this is digital one so it has to be right one), and i have no idea what was second chip. Both are already unsoldered on my picture.
