Morat Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I'm distraught! I bought my Warthog about two years ago and both parts have been perfect since they were first plugged in. Yesterday I unplugged them for the first time so I could clean my PC Case out and when I plugged everything back in the Joystick worked fine but the Throttles aren't recognised. When I check device manager I can see: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) A request for the USB device descriptor failed. Does anyone have any clues? I've tried reinstalling the drivers (only the Joystick is seen) and I tried plugging the throttles into my laptop with the same results. The PC was first installed with Windows 8.1 and then upgraded to Win10 - the USB devices haven't been unplugged since well before then. I don't know if that is relevant but I thought I'd mention it. I have contacted Thrustmaster but I have only received a "thank you for your email" response so far :( I can't Fly!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sokol1_br Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Not that this will help, but can "comfort". https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=66542&page=9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdmboyef9 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I had this problem with a brand new set I purchased. Although I returned them before troubleshooting, many suggested that the Thrustmaster Drivers needed to be updated. This was not apparent on their website but someone posted a link to it.

dburne Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 My throttle bricked last year, had been running it since getting the Warthog setup new when first released - 2008 I think it was. I got a new one, hoping it holds out till someone like Virpil or VKB gets theirs out to market. Certainly work with support and see if they can help you first. Unfortunately this happens to a few of us Warthog owners.

Brewnix Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I just had help from Thrustmaster thru email support. I got the same instant email after maybe 2 to 3 business days they got back to me! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_mojo97 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Can you still phone them?. When my throttle bricked a couple of years ago I was able to phone them and ordered a new mobo which was about £85.

NahkaSukka Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Mine bricked too recently and when i tried to find a fix, i found out that it seems to be relatively common issue with Warthog throttle. It seems that under that steel case is just cheapest chinese crap components money can buy. Not going to buy Thrustmaster products again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
