Strange joystick issue

Hi,

 I should actually put this is under the hardware section but I am not sure.  

 I am using a Logitech Attack 3 and this is my 6th or 7th Attack 3 as I have a tendency to drop it and this in turn makes it lose the axis alignment, but this time when the alignment had gone wrong I opened it up and managed to get the  X axis aligned but the Y Axis is a bit off.

 Now the problem is when I use this joystick on my Toshiba laptop under FS9 / FSX it just pitches down hence I need to keep the back pressure. But if I use X plane it works perfectly. This problem started about a month ago. It's like the forward CG is messed up. 

 This will sound strange, if I use this joystick on my other Lenovo laptop in FS9/ FSX or Xplane it works fine.

 Don't ask me to go and buy a new one because right now is not the time for me to spend. My long plan for a stick is the X52 but that is later.

 Any suggestions for this problem.
