I am not sure if failing is the right word. At any random time my yoke will stop responding. This is a CH yoke. If I look at the game controllers icon in Control Panel the yoke is gone. If I un-plug it & re-plug it in it works fine. Until next time. This has been happening for a few months. When I plugged my yoke & pedals into the two front USB ports I do not remember them ever failing. How do I know this is either the port or the yoke(not likely)? I thought if the port was bad all of them would be bad. Thanks for any input.Pat Callaghan

Try diagnosing your USB ports/devices with the free utility USB DeView. You can also uninstall USB drivers and force a reinstall.Cheers,- jahman.
