X52 going bad?

Had this Saitek X52 for over a year and a half - been good, now it's being bad; paticularly in the Y (elevator) axis.

Don't know if you remember, but I had some problems with mine and thought there was a short in the cord or connection. Turns out, I just needed to reload the driver off the disc. I'm still not satisfied with it and the lights flicker if I turn them off. But when it works right, it's great. Anyway, try reloading the driver and see if that helps.
