Saitek Yoke Not Powering Up

[Guest shinysuitman]

I've got a brand new Saitek yoke that I bought. I completed the initial setup months ago when I received it in January, and I played around with it for about an hour, but I decided I didn't want to make the joystick to yoke transition then. I took it out of my closet a week ago, and I plugged it into my PC, and it's not responding. The LCD display isn't turning on and the device isn't showing up in Windows 7. I connected it to my Mac with X-Plane and the same thing happened. I'm thinking of sending the unit back to Saitek. Can anyone help me as to what's wrong? I've installed all the drivers and software for the device, and it still won't work.

You might want to use the free utility USB DeView to see what's going on with your ports (start, stop, reset, reload drivers, etc.).Cheers,- jahman.
