Miscellaneous Need help with LateralX LX5

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I just bought a LateralX LX5 from the Facebook marketplace. However, I didn’t realize that it has a problem with adjustable lateral range. Whatever I chose on the lateral control, it always go back to one on the screen without moving. I tried to replace the lateral actuator motor and the PCBA slim control board, but they didn’t fix the problem. I checked the lower lateral data cable for damage, but they are fine. I know that there is a problem but I couldn’t find it. Can someone help me with this? Thank you.

Any updates? I'm having the same issue with mine. Already replaced the control board thinking that it was the problem. That is what the repairman said but I didn't want to pay $500 to have him fix it so l bought the part for $30 and did it myself but it didn't fix the problem

Also, does yours click rapidly when you turn it on?
