Creaking zipstick
I just bought one off ebay and it makes a creaking noise!
Did they do that new and is there anyway of fixing it? |

I refute this claim utterly

I had one which did this, but it was still working. When I opened it up there was some dirt and worn out relay switch or whatever it is called. There are 4 of them for each 'position'.

I do not have a zipstick, but I use a competition pro. Mine creaks like mad, but this is more to do with the fact that a couple of the case screws holes have snapped. Try tightening the screws and if any keep turning, then they could have snapped.
