Eshark Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Hello ALL Iam having some problems with the warthog joy stick. When it is plugged in to a USB port it work ok for a while then starts to drop out and in I have watch the stick Icon appear and disappear in the device manager window. I sent it off to guillemot for repair they returned it saying there was a hard ware problem which has been resolved. But on plugging in the stick the same problem reoccurred. I have had the USB port tested prior to sending off the stick for repair, and they were fine in fact Iam now running a ch fighter stick in the same port and it is fine. I have no issues with the throttle unit which is working fine and have installed the drivers and updated the firmware as per instruction from thrustmaster.Does anyone have any idea what is going on or have experienced the same issue and found a resolved please if yes let me know Thanks guys
Rahband Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 I had a similar problem to this and cured it with a USB extention lead One or the other USD leaf was a bit loose in the socket. Hope this helps.
Eshark Posted April 30, 2013 Author Posted April 30, 2013 Thrustmaster Warthog Hotas problem Ok the stick has been sent back to Thrustmaster after weeks of jumping through technical hoops to get the problem resolved. They returned it saying it was a din connector issue, and have replaced the top half of the stick I connected the stick and same problem presented its self. A friend of mine who works for BT as a IT and telecommunication Engineer accessed my system through remote host and repeated the install procedure as per Thrustmaster install guide to no avail ,we moved the stick to a different ports in fact using all the ports on the pc no joy, we connected a different stick for comparison, and it worked perfectly well in all ports . The throttle unit works just fine which indicates a stick malfunction Thrustmaster have not replied to anymore of my queries ONLY TO SAY IT WAS TESTED ON TWO DIFFERENT COMPUTER AND IT WORKED but it don't ,given the price this hotas you would think they would be jumping through hoops to sort this .Iam going to tell the rest of my squad members, and friends to stay away from thrustmaster products this sucks
