Introduction
Saitek X52 Pro is a great Flight System Controller, however it is not without flaws.
For me as well as for some other users, the shooting trigger sometimes stops working. This doesn't mean you have to throw it away, instead with a little bit of patience, you can fix it yourself.
What you need
-

Patience :)
-
You need 2 small screw drives with a Phillips (cross) PH1 head and Torx (star) T10 head.
-
A list of screw drive heads can be hound here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scr...

-
With the Phillips screwdrive unscrew the #1 to #4 screws in Fig. 1.
-
Using the Torx T10 head, unscrew the #5 (Fig. 1), #6, #7 and #8 screws (Fig. 2)
-
Using your hand, unscrew #9 (Fig. 2). Please note that you cannot completely remove this screw, but you don't need to do this anyway.

-
Carefully remove the plastic bracket and the support holding the "Pinkie trigger" by pushing it towards the trigger (Fig. 4).
-
Remove the stick cover that will expose the contacts and wiring (Fig. 5)
-
-
-
Note the small metal plate.
-
Bend it just a little from the middle so that pushing the trigger actually pushes the small blue switch inside the stick.
-
Test the trigger before putting back the plastic cover
