[QUOTE="Cleggorz, post: 12972731, member: 308943"] So I purchased a Thrustmaster TMX online as faulty. I am a repair technician and usually this type of thing is a good challenge for me. However I cannot get this thing to work at all. More specifically it will not calibrate. Upon starting to calibrate the wheel will full lock to the right and just stick there. I have tried the basics, changing the breakaway cable and firmware updating. I have now opened it up. [MEDIA=imgur]a/SGtaFyy[/MEDIA] Does anyone have any idea what's going on here? The motherboard in this thing looks very low quality and soldered by hand. I was wondering if anyone out there has had this issue and know what specifically could be the issue? A dude on reddit pointed me to the optical sensor [MEDIA=imgur]a/DTDBYeK[/MEDIA] I have completely torn the wheel down and checked the optical wheel, gears and belt, mechanically speaking everything is sound. I have checked the sensor with a multimeter and its showing voltage. Could this be a motor issue? Even though it turns right fine. Any help is very much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
