March 29Mar 29 HI Guys, had anyone ever encounter on your TCA Thrustmaster Airbus throttle suddenly not responding at all? the throttle is detected by a USB device, and you can see it on the control panel properties where we can also calibrate, but all buttons and levers aren't responding? any ideas?

March 29Mar 29 Author I tried connecting to different USB port but didn't work, I plug it on my laptop, install drivers it was detected but it's the same. I want to know if this is a common issue or my throttle just died.
March 29Mar 29 Sounds like it dumped it's internal calibration. You might try re-calibrating the firmware. https://youtu.be/jVI6fy5wzn0 Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case
March 29Mar 29 Author Done re-calibrating and still not responsive, whenever I try to connect-disconnect, the device is detected, tried switching to different USB ports, you can see it on Hardware properties even on Sim, it just went dead. I remember last time I installed TCA profiles from the marketplace, beyond that point I thought I just messes up all my profiles and need to re-bind again, after several troubleshooting I just noticed that all lever, buttons and knobs are not responding at all. Not so sure now if it's a hardware issue or software, I tried to clean up the throttle using electrical contact cleaner, works every on sidestick when rudder is jittery, but not this time.

March 30Mar 30 Author I noticed that Firmware version was Zero 0: tried to update via Firmware updater but it fails at end and says "the firmware of this ta320 quadrant has been updated but the firmware version is different than expected" I raised a ticket to TM for fix, hope to hear from them, it will be a huge blow for me if they unable to fix it, a year warranty is way passed.
