@wes1987 make a little force on it to test if it "reacts".
¿Have you got the same red light blinking inside? -
@byagm No Red light blinking, and applying a force does nothing (it moves effortlessly). Almost like there is no firmware on the device now.
-
@wes1987 Windows says "unknown device" when you connect usb? (or something like that, I have it in spanish..)
-
@byagm Nope, doesn't do anything at all

Mine is working so far, I will report if there are any issues.
-
@mr_dino Do you have a red light blinking inside your base in any moment?
(mine its continously blinking. You can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tiU27yOTTs )
-
can you post screenshots of your "Control Panel>Device Manager" & "Control Panel>Devices & Printers" with the unit powered up and USB cable plugged in?
-
Can you disconnect all cables except AC power & USB from the control unit, power up and post screenshots of your "Control Panel>Device Manager" & "Control Panel>Devices & Printers"
-
@byagm No blinking everything is working as normal.
-
I have just been testing the new update and it feels good, virtual torque has made a good improvement in Iracing.
-
And
I don't even get the beep to tell me a new USB device is connected.
The only thing that changed from this morning to now is the installation of the new firmware
-
Can you disconnect all cables apart from AC and USB and check that the internal fan spins up on power on?
-
@sim-plicity-dev I can confirm that the Fan is spinning up when the USB and AC are only connected

The Control unit has 2 operational modes ( Wheel Firmware & Bootloader) both of which present a USB Interface to the PC.
A failed firmware update would leave the unit in Bootloader mode which is currently not visible on your PC.Can you swap USB cables & ports to confirm that both are working as expected independently of the Control unit?
-
@sim-plicity-dev
So I have tried 3 different cables. and all the USB ports on my PC (including the native 2.0 header on the Motherboard)This includes ports that the working keyboard and mouse have been plugged into.
It's really confusing for me.
I do have a degree in Electronics, so I am willing to assist on a deeper level if need be. We can chat in more detail if you want to use something like Discord/teams/skype etc

Without a functioning USB Device, remote diagnostics are limited.
Can you send an email to support at sim-pli.city linking this post and we'll get your wheelbase brought back to analyze what's gone wrong? -
The issue is without a functioning USB device, remote diagnostics are limited. We will need to get the Control unit back to analyze what has happened. Can you send an email to support at sim-pli.city linking this post and we'll arrange to get the Control unit collected.

@sim-plicity-dev As wes1987 says, I can solder, modify internally if its needed (I dont have Electronics Degree, but I know a little about it as I´m making my own 6DOF platform, so maybe I can make things easily).
I have already write an email to support@sim-pli.city
I really hope its not necesary to send back to UK as probably I can make a board reset/repair... you´ll tell me. -
Damn, I got same problem as @Wes1987, after update wheel wont show up in Device manager or Devices and Printers. After I power wheel this is what happens https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-h1EYOfJOZMLsAhKpIRVu30R6v1t7uXh/view?usp=sharing
I have sw10c+.
