July 7, 20214 yr Any tricks to bring an unresponsive Saitek FIP back to life? Some time ago, one of my FIPs stopped booting up and is just showing the red LED on at all times. It's recognized by both Windows and Spad.Next (but with an error as being unresponsive). Now another FIP has also become inop, but this one doesn't even have the LED on when powered up, and doesn't seem to be detected by Spad. Both FIPs are relatively new (less than 1 year old). Tried a few different things, like hooking them to different usb-ports, changing the cables, hooking them directly to the computer instead of through a powered hub, and even installing the Logitech drivers (yikes). I also disconnected all other peripherals. So far, no dice. I do have 8 other FIPs working just fine, so I'm not exactly dying here, but would like to give the two dead ones a fair shot before sending them to the electronics graveyard.
July 7, 20214 yr Clearly and positively ID them in Windows Control Panel, Device Manager, HID (Human Interface Devices) by plugging/unplugging them. Then check the Properties, Power Management. If selected, uncheck the box that allows Windows to manage them for power saving. Good Luck. Hope that is the issue.
