My AES stick dunt work no mor

One of my AES sticks will not move up in any direction (I think it will sometimes go straight up, but it has to be really prodded). Before I send it away to be fixed, is there anything I can do myself? I have no electronic maintainance knowledge outside of smacking the thing. A- wigglin' and a-jigglin' the cord proves to be of no avail.

If all else fails, how much would a repair cost? I'll probably have to send it to Jim Kurtz.

Thanks.

Umm I hate to say it but its called worn out contact. You dont replace that kind of stick you throw it out.... Buy a new one bro

Umm, no. IF its a worn out microswitch - replace it. Couple of dollars, if that. Also check for dodgy joints inside. However, its often a lead, in which case you'd need a whole new lead
