Find the grind:
The X-Arcade™ was made to be user serviceable, just like a real arcade.
It does not void the Lifetime Warranty to open it.
First you will need to open the X-Arcade™.
Once open, the first thing to look for that could be causing the
grinding is the cone-shaped piece (shown in the diagram below) being in
upside-down. The wide part of the cone-shaped piece should be down inside of the housing. To get to it, you will want to remove the silver "C" shaped metal piece (C-Clip)
on the bottom of the joystick handle. Be sure there is something
holding the handle side of the stick in from the other side as removing the C-Clip will release it. Using a flat-head screwdriver, put the tip in one of the 2 slots of the C-Clip and pry it sideways away from the joystick handle to remove it
(careful, they like to run away from you!).
If the cone is correctly inserted and you still have
grinding, you will want to look for the cause inside of the joystick
housing. To open it, simply remove the 4 Phillips-head screws from the
4 microswitches and move the switches out of your way. Now remove the 4
screws that are found under the switches. Look at the diagram below to
be sure everything looks the same, obviously looking for any broken
pieces. If you find anything broken, please use the Contact button
