Loz Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 @Gadroc Thanks but I think I've tried just about all my USB connections already. It seems to have worked for a lot of guys with a similar problem, but not on mine. I'm pretty hopeful that something will be sorted out soon but all I've had from TM Support so far, has been the auto receipt of my pleas for help. Does anyone have a listing for the faults on the Updater. They show a link to a .pdf but it's blank?? 1 i9 9900x at 5.1 Ghz // ASUS ROG Maximus XI Formula EK Bloc // 64Gb Corsair Vengence 3600Mhz DDR4 Ram // Gigabyte Aorus 3090 Watercooled block//Samsung SM951 M2 x4 SSD // Windows 10 64 Bit //48inch LG48 @ 3840x2160 120Hz//Asus ROG Swift PG35VQ 3440 x 14440 144Hz // TM Warthog HOTAS (Ser.

hassata Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse, but did you try plugging it into a different machine altogether and running the updater? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loz Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 No it's OK hassata, thanks for the help but yes I have tried in my Laptop using the updater with exactly the same result. i9 9900x at 5.1 Ghz // ASUS ROG Maximus XI Formula EK Bloc // 64Gb Corsair Vengence 3600Mhz DDR4 Ram // Gigabyte Aorus 3090 Watercooled block//Samsung SM951 M2 x4 SSD // Windows 10 64 Bit //48inch LG48 @ 3840x2160 120Hz//Asus ROG Swift PG35VQ 3440 x 14440 144Hz // TM Warthog HOTAS (Ser.

Spectre_USA Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 If this doesn't address the lights on with system off, and only adds a pair of purty icons in Win7, I think I'll take a pass.

Slammin Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Spectre, it supposedly locks the firmware from inadvertant corruption. Even if you have not been affected by that yet, enough folks have and so TM fixed it with this firmware version. As was said, though you may not need it now, if you ever do need it, by then it will be too late. You will have to send the unit back for repair.

Spectre_USA Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Well, I am sure the next one, that addresses the issue I find most relevant, will also address the possible corruption issue. I am just a firm believer that BIOS/Firmware upgrades are to be avoided unless a feature/improvement is worth the possible loss. This fails that litmus test in my mind...

TwoLate Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Well got my new throttle from France after I sent mine to Canada. I went ahead and flash the new firmware just in case it needed it.

Snoopy Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I head from Thrustmaster today, they said all they had to do was update the firmware and it's back on it's way. I'll let everyone know if that worked once it arrives. Frustrating that I tried everything to update it before shipping it off but oh well. v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website | v303rd Fighter Group Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Roto Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 (edited) Slight install problem: throttle and stick positions in windows game controllers were reversed. Solved this by unplugging both from the powered USB, then plugging them back in - throttle first. Worked like a charm. Haven't checked lights' behavior. Problem #2: Can no longer use Mic Switch Up as my TS3 PTT. The button shows up in Windows and I've followed Stanger's instructions (several times) and no joy. Problem Solved: Simple 'ol reboot took care of it.

DocSigma Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Updated no problem. I never had a problem with the lights staying on though. After shut down of my system, I usually power off the PSU which will extinguish the lights. Now I do notice that now the lights don't come on until Windows loads whereas before just turning on the PSU in the back of the computer would light up the main green band at the front of the throttle and the the throttle switches and buttons would light up when windows booted up.
