mr_mojo97 Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Hi, my throttle was working fine for about the last 3 yeasrs without issue then all of a sudden after I unplugged my joystick and Logitech G97 wheel (which incidentally has also seemes to have died) it has got the 5 green lights beside the friction wheel. What could be causing this? There is no response from the computer when it's plugged into any port or with another computer. Any ideas? I've just sent an email to Thrustmaster so will also await their response over the coming months!! Thanks Please tell me it's not gubbed!

NeilWillis Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Sounds like you lost the main board. It is a user changeable part, just plugs and screws. Thrustmaster do supply them - for around 50 Euros.
cichlidfan Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 It does sound dead. However, my dealings with TM customer service, over a bad MFD, were fairly simple and quick. Email turn around might have been slightly more than a day but aside from that they did just fine.

mr_mojo97 Posted December 7, 2015 Author Posted December 7, 2015 Thanks for that! I'll see what they say and order the required part. What could cause this? And my wheel as well!!! Thats a quick response then! I had heard that TM didn't have the best customer service in the world! If they're that quick then I'm a happy chappy.

mr_mojo97 Posted December 9, 2015 Author Posted December 9, 2015 Cool, got a quick response and within a day they're gonna send off a new main board only £36.80 inc delivery! Logitech were very quick as well - they're sending out a new power pack for free to see if that is the cause of the G27 wheel not responding. All round very happy with customer support with these two companies.
