My dilemma: The Distributor says he tested it as ok, for me it seems dead.

Nothing I do gets it to show any signs of life.
THRUSTMASTER FIRMWARE UPDATER BOOTLOADER FAILURE UPDATE
Even tried the Thrustmaster FAQ option to wake up the wheel / update the firmware by holding the buttons 11 and 12 while connecting the USB. Tried disconnecting / re-connecting the wheel to the base unit. I've tried numerous actions, different power points, different USB slots, I've tried with newer and older driver software. The power light never lights up at any time. I've tried installing it to three different PC's (Win 7, Win 8.2, Win 10) but still it shows no sign of life. It is not detected in the Control Panel or the Firmware Updater. The wheel isn't detected after installing the driver. I've now received it back, and now things have gotten worse. After testing, the distributor claimed it was working ok, and sent it back to me. The distributor raised an RMA with Thrustmaster, who requested that the distributor test the unit. Same problem, continually disconnecting all on it's own.Īfter contacting the distributor, we arranged for the unit to be returned. After checking all connections, it just kept disconnecting and reconnecting. After about 5 mins, it switched off, switched on again and calibrated again, without me touching it. I hopped out of AC, and disconnected and reconnected the wheel to my PC.

I then tried to use it in AC but while assigning the axes and buttons, it suddenly started calibrating again. I tested a few buttons and FFB's and all looked good. When I first installed it, all went well and it was detected and calibrated as expected. Unfortunately, it's turning into a frustrating experience. I recently purchased a Thrustmaster TS-PC to replace my trusty G27.
