Did you found a reason why? And have you found a solution how to fix it?
Hallo, magnets hold in place because of weak plastic adhesion. When the adhesion broke up, then the magnets gets stucked together, what makes idrive stucked. For me was the solution to use alu-foil to make the gap for magnets in plastic housing thicker. 4 plates of alu-foil per each magnet was enough to hold magnets in place. Then You’ll need to configure best magnets position, to get the smooth move feeling of the idrive controller. I figure out, that best position for magnet is, when they are close to each other in the center of the stick and on the opposite when there is e bigger distance compared to center position. Anyway I’m talking about max 1mm difference, so it’s necessary to try that. Good luck .
