Hi all,
Purchased a SC1 OSW second hand over a year ago now and have absolutely loved it. Unfortunately, the previous owner did not know much about the wheel as it was given to him by a mate so I kinda went into the whole thing blind. Fortunately, the wheel has worked great up until now.
Unfortunately in the last few weeks the wheel has started to play up with being recognised by my PC (having to power cycle every time I want to use it) and now has completely stopped working.
I have tried a range of different troubleshooting tips and tricks on this website and across the interwebs to no avail.
I also seem to get different issues.
I initially thought it was USB hub related, but I have tried using a range of USB ports on the computer, other usb hubs etc. but no luck.
Sometimes, the device is recognised in Device Manager & Game Controllers, but the USB shows error 43.
I opened up the box and i was getting LED2 flashing LSSS. I power cycled the system and its now back to green. But still does not recognise on the computer.
Currently, the Simucube shows up in Game Controllers and does not give ERROR 43, but Simucube config tool does not see the wheel.
The wheel shows in windows “game controllers” but when I rotate the wheel no input is detected.
When turned on, the wheel does the usual 20 degree right turn so strange that it is not working now.
EDIT - I just did a power cycle and now I am getting USB error 43… Seems to be a lottery each time with what error code stops this wheel from working
Reading through this forum → Simucube 1 can't connect to software I hope it is not a sudden USB failure like this person.
Any advice would be appreciated.
