Throttle Quadrant

Does anyone know I went onto to P3D to do a flight and found my throttle Quadrant was not working but the green light stays solid. I thought it maybe a broken wire or something but is not the case.
I plugged in my spare from my older yoke and works fine. I have checked the pins any ideas.

Truth be told that these throttle quadrants dont really stand up to the test of time. i purchased a second quadrant (usb type) not long after purchasing my yoke. and it lasted all of a year and a half. i had the electrician at my workplace take a look at it, and same as yours, the light was on but it wasn't registering the throttles.
Sorry about the bad news bud :(

Thanks for the reply, I have never had any problems with my Saitek gear before but your right they don't last. I am glad I have a spare now that Saitek is now gone and now waiting for the Logitech versions.
It would be great to go like the real thing all metal I would certainly be happy to pay more for it.
