Toadster Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) TM has asked me to send my Throttle to Montreal for repairs (I'm in Nova Scotia). Overall, I'm very pleased with the quick response and look forward to others having resolution of this issue. I'm still extremely pleased with the performance and feel of the Warthog and I do not regret my purchase for a minute. S!

SonofEil Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 How long did it take for you guys till the support answered to an email request? They'd respond almost exactly 24 hours after I'd send them an email. Obviously not too bad, but they also don't listen/understand very well so there were some redundant time-consuming emails. All told, it took me about a week to get my problem resolved without having to send in my WH. (thank god!)

They took almost a week to answer my mail, however they did understand exactly what I had asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoni63 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 This is kind of a repost, but in case you didn't see my other, to encourage you.. I sent mine off on a tuesday, the next monday was a holiday so I expected nothing for 2 or 3 weeks. I got in on tuesday of the next week and my new throttle was sitting on the porch.. I sent to Canada from Oklahoma. My throttle was probably not even to Canada yet (FexEx Ground) so they had to have shipped my new one the minute I got my return info. New one came from France.. Hope that encourages you. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]HP d5000T/Vista SP1/Intel® Core 2 Quad CPU Q9490 @ 2.66 Ghz 3.00 GB Ram/32 bit OS/Nvidia GeForce 9500GT.

SonofEil Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Thx for the info, it seems mine is bricked. Wait and see it is. :cry: I'm just waiting for mine to brick now, expecting it. This kinda sucks. Let me ask, was there anything you did prior to it bricking, or did you just turn on your computer and the WH didn't wake up with it? i7 7700K @5.0, 1080Ti, 32GB DDR4, HMD Odyssey, TM WH, Crosswind Rudder...

Yskonyn Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 To be on the safe side I always unplug my WH before turning off the computer and I only connect it when I need it.

Let me ask, was there anything you did prior to it bricking, or did you just turn on your computer and the WH didn't wake up with it? I changed my SATA configuration from IDE to AHCI and that made a few reboots and meddling inside the PC necessary during the course of which i paid no attention to the throttle. When i was done, the throttle was bricked, so i can't really say what did it. (and before the smartasses chime in: no i didn't short anything ;)). Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two.

I expect it was the reboots, the hog seems highly susceptible to the tiniest voltage spike. What board you using?

sobek Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I expect it was the reboots, the hog seems highly susceptible to the tiniest voltage spike. It's not that simple. I had a few occasions where my girlfriend hard-switched on the CRT TV that's on the same phase as my PC power supply and while the Throttle switched it's backlighting off and on, it certainly took it without problems. I also had it connected during all the reboots i did since november 20th, and those were quite a few.

Vlerkies Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Shucks, and I am about to hit the checkout button with a Warthog in the cart :( Shiiping the thing to where I live is like around $100 alone, cant afford to send it back and forth across the pond everytime it breaks. Is there any official statement from Guillemot as to why they have had what seems to be quite a high instance of failures? A bit nervous now.

RogueRunner Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Come now Grant, life is full of little challenges :P At the price you re getting it, it's worth buying it and then benching it will TM get the new software out the door.

Vlerkies Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Christo, you mentioned there were issues, but it looks rather widespread when looking through posts like this? I will still buy it, but gonna be nervous as hell. Would like some kind of clarification as to firmware or hardware related, maybe I can avoid a certain serial number range then and save some heartache later.

RogueRunner Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Yeah, face it, I'm nervous as hell each time I plug mine in. Like I posted elsewhere, I might bring the X65 out of the cupboard till TM gets their ducks in a row here. At least you still have to Cougar to play with as well. I am very very disappointed in the lack of communiques from TM in this regard!! With the price of ammunition these days do not expect a warning shot.

Teej Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I would be stunned beyond words if power fluctuations small enough that most things (the computer itself) didn't notice / fry would cause enough of a change on the USB line to pop a Warthog. If a PC's power supply and motherboard setup to feed the USB were as simple as a stepdown transformer and a rectifier, I could maybe buy that argument. With multiple step voltage conversion/regulation...I think it's bordering on impossible. I truly do want to know what the answer ends up being. I really don't think it has anything to do with: 1: Position of switches / axes on the throttle when plugging in / powering on (Aside from the combo they've programmed in as a 'reset' which is something you'd have to do very deliberately) 2: Mains voltage fluctuation (that said, I run my computer from a UPS...) 3: Brand of motherboard (unless Asus got a large shipment of bad vregs in) "Tank! I need a program for a TM Warthog!"

Vlerkies Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I just don't have the time and the grey matter anymore to program the cougar for DCS A10 and no profiles going of any worth that I can find. Thats why the warthog appeals to me so much, plug and play baby, just dont pop a circuit board or something LOL.

RogueRunner Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Is there anything bad that can happen if I run the Warthog stick only and my X65 throttle, ie Warthog throttle in the cupboard waiting for some word from TM?!?!?

Vlerkies Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Perhaps a small suggestion. Would it not be constructive to have a poll here for the Warthog owners on the site. Reading this entire thread there seems to be no real idea of the extent of the problem. SOme say small number some say large. Well I suppose this forum is a good enough sample of any flight sim community. Have a poll and lets see what percentage of owners are running trouble free, throttle wise that is.

Yskonyn Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Good idea. Why not add such a thread youself? Eventhough you may not own one (yet) there's nothing holding you back from posting such a thread. ;) On the other hand, there's already the 'mobo thread' stickied at the top of this page...
