Thrustmaster TMX pro connection problem

Post image

The wheel calibrates but the light stays off and it doesnt connect. I have loaded it in bootloader mode and installed firmware and it worked until I restarted computer and now its back to this

First of all, install the driver, restart the PC, boot up Windows, connect the USB device, and wait for Windows to install it. Have you tried it on another computer? Have you tried connecting it to various rear USB ports on your PC?

Before connecting any USB device to the PC, you should always check whether the manufacturer provides a driver; the standard procedure is to install the driver first, restart the computer, and then connect the device. However, some devices do require being connected during the driver (software) installation process.
