My g25 steering doesn't work on turning, it seems like the motor worn out. but the rpm light and other button on the wheel works fine. anyone know how to fix the problem without replacing the whole steering wheel? Thanks
 
Does the wheel do the calibration test when you switch it on? It goes full lock from one side to other and back again?
 
no it did't do the test as usual. Now i'm having hard time looking for place to repair it.
 
Will likely be cheaper to replace than repair. Call Logitech and you will get some sort of warranty support.

Are you sure that the wheel is plugged into the wall?

Ok, my first question was gearing towards that maybe there is a power issue with the wheel? If it's not doing the calibration thing then maybe there's a problem along the lines of either power to the wheel from the AC adaptor, or even power signal from the PS3 along the USB cable.

but the rpm light is on and the the buttons on the wheels works normal, so I assume it might be the power line from the wheel.

The G27 uses two motors, it should work on the one if anything.
 
Is your A/C adapter plugged-in in addition to the USB cable?
 
So, no? Because if your A/C adapter isn't plugged in, then the FFB motors won't work.
 
Might be worth moving this post to the hardware section, you might get better feedback there.

Feedback :sly:

To the OP; Logitech has pretty good support so I think it's worth calling them even if your warranty is out. I doubt you can buy the wheel itself from anywhere unless you look really hard and get really lucky. Check some auction site local to you or ask around in local forums.
 
refurbished g27 parts constantly come up on ebay.

I saw a G27 wheel only, last week for £69
