Aimtrak recoil only work when tilted to the side

I got this a couple of month back and have been enjoying it but recently not sure if it was a windows thing or a hardware problem but the recoil suddenly stop working properly i have to tilt it to the side to make it work I open it up to see if there was a loss wire or something but everything seem fine.



English is my second language so sorry for any misspelling or bad grammar

Thats a odd problem :s

My guess would be that its sticking or catching on something?

Can you hear it click when you pull the trigger and it does not fire?
Or is the noid not doing anything at all?
