badger66 Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 Im going to buy one soon . But yes , I have come across this once brfore . Same issue I heard about , led's going bang . Not good at that price .
cichlidfan Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 Not good at that price . Face it. Any component failure at that price isn't pretty but it is a risk anytime you buy a high end product, of any kind.

FreeFall Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 I have seen some net forum reports of dying LEDs of Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog Throttle. LEDs normally are very long-lasting. If no excess current. Cannot say if it is a current problem, or just some other components dying.
xi Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 I had to send my first TM:Wathog back, because one LED was already dead on arrival. Seems to be a more common problem. -- "Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away". -- Philip K. Dick
Wolfie Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 This really makes me mad. The bastards want a crapload for their joystick, and then you hear about problem after problem with it. I hope someone else makes a similiar joystic to compete with them. At this point, I'm thinking about just getting a rockfire ups gameport connector for my old $9 raptor firestick. At least it works.

cichlidfan Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 At least it works. So do most Warthogs. Failures happen in any product regardless of price. EDIT: My brother just returned a $2500 television because of a defective connnector.

LiveBait Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Sorry to hear about that mr mojo, At least it works. Don't forget that you will not hear from the thousands of happy owners out there :thumbup: I got mine from the first shipment into Australia, and despite my own paranoia after reading some of these posts, it has not missed a heartbeat, and is (ab)used daily. :joystick:
cichlidfan Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Don't forget that you will not hear from the thousands of happy owners out there :thumbup: Based on serial numbers there are well over 10,000 of them out there. So far mine is rock solid as well.

Tornado_Pilot Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Same goes for me, but I think, that my LED row of those 5 LED on the top side is blown... Ok, quite shitty, but for me, no reason to send it back now, as it is just rock solid and super precise... and always nice to grip on. Greets Chris
