Help - Xbox 360 HRAP Home button issues

Post by Jonpachi »

I bought a HRAP VX-SA for my 360 recently that is having some issues that seem to be related to the Home button. The joystick will sometimes fail to connect entirely, or will cut out mid-game and disconnect. I've also had it occasionally power-on the console by itself, as though I was holding down the Home button.

Has anyone had these types of issues, and is there a solution? I haven't come across replacement Home buttons on the aftermarket thus far. It's shame, as this is a really nice stick with all Sanwa parts and I've love to rescue it.

Sounds like a short in the wiring or possibly within the microswitch. Open up the stick and see if you can find the likely cause and replicate the problem. You can try swapping the microswitch with another one and just leaving the donor disconnected for testing purposes.

Were you able to get this working again? I'm looking at the same HRAP for my 360.
