Trackir 3 defect? 2 Questions

Post by StevBrennan »

Hi there...

i've bought a used trackir3 pro.
If i connect it to my USB my PC not even opens a windows to install any driver, seems it is not recognized at all. Is this a usual behavior (i have not installed drivers before, but windows should recognize a new unknown device?)

second question, on the left side of the device there is a plug where i can put in something...is this for a powersupply? or for what is it used?

Thanks a lot

regards

Does it show up in Device Manager under NaturalPoint Devices or do you have an "Unknown Device" with a yellow caution symbol? Do any of the LEDs come on when it is plugged in?

As for the port on the side it is part of a shared component with some of our other devices but is not used with the TrackIR 3.

No it is not shown as unknown nor as unknown Device, it's just not recognized at all...i first thought i need a additional powersupply, but now it seems its defect :(

If it isn't detected at all it could be that the camera has failed. I would try it on another PC first before giving up all hope though.
