Dead TrackIr5?

Post by Airmage »

Hello. I have been using my tir5 for 7 years now, starting nov 2009, with no problems, but this morning while i was playing ETS2, after pausing the game for a few minutes, it stopped working. Left green LED is dead, in-game or not, and the camera does not see any light at all, not even when i turn it towards the sun. Right green LED and central lights(4xred dots) work when game detected.

Does that mean the sensor is dead? Did it reach the end of it's lifespan?

Airmage,

My first suggestion would be to test it on another PC to make sure the issue isn't localized to your machine. If you've tried resetting the software and moving it to another USB port, I'm not sure what else it could be hardware wise.

Tested it on different pc. Same behaviour. I think it's gone for good.
