Throttle buttons stop responding in certain positions

My X52 pro acts up in certain throttle positions.

the rotator axis will change and loose accuracy in certain positions with the throttle Axis and some of the buttsons stop working as well. I believe it may be an issue with its internal potentiometers but I'm not entirely sure.

And to add to this I've owned this X52Pro for about two years now.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

I AM PHOENIX that will depend which buttons etc. I suggest that you disassemble it using this guide Saitek X52 Pro Disassembly and take a look at anything that may cause a mechanical reason for it binding. If there is none you will have to consider replacing the pots. This video might help you with that task.

Also to be more specific it's the center button next to the throttle slider and it's also affecting the throttle hat.

Ok i took a look and all it shows is the main stick disassembly. The isssue is with the throttle. This issue doesn't affect the main joystick.
