TrackerIR5 unit broken?
Posted: Fri Jul 08, 2011 2:16 pm
Hi,
I've had my TrackerIR5 almost for 2 years now, but today it won't work properly.
The camera either won't show any IR reflections, or sometimes it shows almost everything. It can see a red silhouette of myself in the camera-view in such rare cases.
E.g.:

All the diodes (4 red ones) are there. It recognizes games, but it won't track anymore. It is fairly dark in the room, and I don't have any
other IR light/reflection devices that should disturb it..
I also tried different IR light strength, it doesn't matter.. I have restarted the machine + reconnected it in the USB, it gets detected,
but the camera won't work properly.
Is the unit broken?
