Good evening, (ladies and?) gents. Quick question (with a bit of backstory) for you all...tl;dr at the bottom...
I was playing DCS with the TrackIR and had to get up to let my dog out. Hit escape, did that, came back, hit escape and my dude was staring at the sky....F12...nothing...the "center head tracker" key or whatever it is...I'm back centered (ish) but the TrackIR isn't working. Go to the software and it's working fine but doesn't appear to be talking to DCS anymore. We've all been there. Decided to try unplugging it and plugging it back in to see if that makes it wake up...and it did! For about two seconds. Then, nothing. Again.
Now, the TrackIR software doesn't see it, device manager doesn't see it, I've plugged it into every USB port I have available, even plugged it into another machine. Not even a USB "badoop" sound. No lights, no nothing. WTF? Anyone had this happen? Did you fix it? No idea how it'd be possible to destroy something by literally unplugging it from USB and plugging it back in...that'd be insane...ideas? Thanks.
tl;dr - TrackIR is suddenly gone. Completely gone. Not in device manager, the software can't see it, no "badoop" when I plug it in, nothing. Even the lights on it are off now...ever had that happen?
