=Panther= Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 But I also have to note - that they've attached the serial number plate to the least-integral, easily-swapped part on the thing ... so it's possible (but unlikely) that the only thing you have that I've ever touched is the baseplate. :/ There's also a serial number on the tag that's attached to cord.

TARGET *shouldn't* make any difference ... but I'd certainly reccomend updating to the latest firmware. I doubt the firmware alone is the issue, but it could certainly be a part of it.

Succellus Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) Good call on the MOBO, i had already suggested that, but from what have been sayd, its not related. So far the MOBO reported are Intel lga 775, I5, I7 compliant. No amd, most of them I5 and some I7.

Succellus Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Well Asus is a bright star. so far only 1 other brand (Giga) But is it because it sells a lot, would it be their fault or a component used in boards ? or again a faulty WT ?

sndwv Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Very interesting, so there finally is some progress! My WH is still unused since purchase until I am confident it is either fixed via firmware or confirmed 'luck of the draw'. Lets hope they fix the firmware to cope with ASUS' chipset..!

Teej Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) I flew Warthogs from May through November on an Asus P5B Deluxe...and it was on that motherboard that I did the stress test attempting to force my preproduction unit to fail after some of the earlier reports of failures came out. Not counting the stress testing, the WH was plugged into a monitor the majority of the time, with power being applied and removed several times a day (cycling the monitor). Also spent a few weeks plugged into a motherboard USB port. Yes, plugging into the monitor most of the time does weaken the argument against it being the motherboard...but as I said there were weeks of regular use plugged into the motherboard, AND a pretty hardcore few days of testing with all kinds of unplugging, plugging, rebooting, power on/off etc. trying to get it to fail. I was taking notes on everything I did so that if I suddenly had it brick on me I'd have an "activity log" I could submit to TM. No luck. I've never had the stick itself plugged into anything but the MB, but again...that's not terribly significant since the throttle is by far the more likely failure, when it's happened. Just a data point. Edited January 27, 2011 by Teej "Tank! I need a program for a TM Warthog!"
