Thrustmaster T300RS GT dead?

Hi guys,

I've just bought my self a Thrustmaster wheel, got it home and played for a bit last night and it was working perfectly fine, just tried to play a bit again today and its completely dead, doesn't do its auto-calibration when connected to power and USB on either my PC or my PS4.

I've attempted following the instructions to put the wheel into the bootloader mode, but its still not being detected by my PC or my laptop!

Has my wheel died? If so, this is the second wheel that's died on me lately (within a week of each other) - My G29 stopped powering up also.. Is running these wheels off a UPS bad for them in any way?

I was able to run a firmware update on the wheel last night, which went thru with no issues.

 

Not familiar with these(have a Rallye GT)
Do they have a powerbrick? Is it warm?(most likely working)
Any lights on when powered up?

 

Does your ups output a proper sine wave? Could be the problem i have had power supply's that kept failing after a while because they were not getting a pure sine wave.

 

No Power brick, and no lights on the wheel.

No idea TBH, I know the batteries are stuffed, probably gonna get a new UPS soon.


I ended up taking it back to JB and they exchanged it for me, haven't used the replacement yet tho.
