DD pro and formula 2.5 wheel possibly power/static related issue
I have a Fanatec Gran turismo dd pro bought (2 weeks ago) and noticed since when I first installed my wheel the wheel does not turn on, I have a Fanatec Clubsport formula v2 and the center led screen does not turn on when I attach the wheel to the base neither any of the buttons work in any mode or device (pc or console) I'm using the latest drivers on both the wheel and the base (also the rest)
Things that I tested:
- If I connect the wheel with the QR2 wheel side but without any screws attached everything works
- If I connect the wheel without the QR2 wheel side everything works too
- I tried to test using the wheel just with the QR2 Wheel side attached without the screws for some time (without any games, just to test the buttons) and noticed some buttons sometimes are not working when pushed
- A friend of mine had the exact same wheel (Formula 2.5) so I borrowed his and the results are the same, he has a Gran turismo dd+ and both his formula wheel and mine work as expected
- brought nylon screws the same dimentions as the ones that come with the QR2 wheel side and the wheel is turning on now but still some times the buttons simply are not working for 2 to 10 seconds (occurs randomly and not consistently)
Based on my tests I suspect it can be a problem related to the base power/static or even electromagnetism since only when aluminum screws are attached is when the problem is worse. is there any way to fix this issue?
Comments
you have v2? with this metal center circle holder? i think all the new ones use now the plastic one instead
so maybe your issue is at there
Sorry wrote it wrong, it's the V2.5 with QR2 metal wheelbase
aluminum self should not be affected to the electromagnetism at all
perhaps just perhaps, you have there long bolts what holds this QR2? and they connect inside to something what they should not
have you even try 455 drivers?
