I was a little worry about the address, because i print out the LOOOONG address and put it on the package and them i have to write the address on a small piece of paper and dont get the all address on that and that paper was put on the package. But it has now arrived at the right address so i am happy!!
But i got my second Warthog about a week ago so now i soon have two of them. one in reserve...

Ok, after my holidays, and lots of e-mail interchange with TM, I didn't need to send back the throttle. They simply sent me a new circuit board and USB cable, and after I replaced it my throttle came back from the dead.

My only concern now is how to prevent it from "bricking" again. Updated to FW 20 but I don't know whether that's a definite solution or not. Has anyone experienced this problem with the latest firmware? Seems from this thread no-one else has run into this problem since January...

Did enyone get the shipping cost refunded if so how? paypal or what.
I have payed 100 $ so far and want that back........

update on mine:
I opened the side of the right throttle as instructed by TM, but it didnt come out cleanly...something was caught then all of a sudden some of the individual wires came out of the white plug that connects to the PCB in the right throttle. Its next to impossible to put the small wires back into the white connector plug, due to them being very short in length and recessed in the right throttle. Even if i manage to get one of the wires slotted back into the white plug with some fine pliers, others might fall out i the process.

So i suspect my original problem could have been related to that same very plug, i.e. the wires are not secured in the white plug properly.

I took a photo and emailed it to TM saying that i am done with messing about with this throttle..."just give me an address to mail the entire throttle for TM to repair it".

They finally got back today saying TM will just send me a new throttle, i don't need to send my broken throttle to them. So fingers crossed the new one is perfect and i have the spare broken one as a paper-weight.

I just got mine back from TM, all the buttons now work BUT the Incr/ Decr working werry bad and the trottle dont move, just from the detent to full !
Proberly a calibration will fix that,

Ok, so here is the run down on 05/08/2011 in the morning I received #00367 from my wife as an early Birthday present, spent all Sunday afternoon installing in my cockpit but did not installed in PC until Monday 05/09/2011 @ 6:00 PM. WOW!! the best freaking set up I have ever put my hands on, 20,000 freaking miles away from my made in China X52. I'm a noob on sims and for the first time I was pulling gun kills and sticking landings like I never have before. I smoked Migs for 2 hours that evening and powered down PC. Tuesday 05/10/2011 6:00 PM was a repeat of the day before, I am freaking loving it at this point, again I splashed Migs for 2 hours with the old Rhino. Come Wed, I am sitting on the runway ready to go lay down my authority on those pesky Migs, I push the throttle to full power and nothing happens What...the...F!
Anyway, long story short, I do my due diligence in the all the forums and web for possible explanation and fixes but to no avail. And like one poster put it, quite literately the "lights are on but nobody is home", the throttle lights up but does not register. Device Manager says that it is unable to start devices, no matter on what USB port I connect it too. Oh, and yes, I tried all the other fixes that have made their way in the forums without success. My wife bought this $548.00 (tax inc) stick and throttle and it only worked for 4 hours? WHAT THE H(ELL)ECK IS THIS? Almost a $600.00 piece of hardware and only got to use for 4 hours before it decided that it had enough and left the party without even letting me know why (referring to TM being tight lipped about the problem)! Apparently this has been going on since release and no info about this shows up in their site. I'm lucky that my wife bought the WH at Fry's Electronics (kinda like Best Buy here in Cali) and it is about 15 minutes away, I will exchange it for a new one tomorrow, hope and pray that it does not go the same way as #00367, because that will just be sad for as setup that is just simply awesome

Honestly I wouldn't take it back to Fry's. Fry's will just slap a open box discount sticker on the box. Then some chap behind you will see the discounted sticker and take it home to find the same frustration. I recommend contacting Thrustmaster support for assistance and replacement.

Nope! for $500.00 plus USD I expect this thing to work when I get it home. My wife did not pay good dollars just so I can be grounded for who knows how long. I took #00367 back and got another box off the shelf, #07515. So far is working and really hope it stays that way because I love this thing!
Fry's will probably send it RMA and get a reworked replacement to restock. In a previous life I used to work as a product development specialist in the Silicon Valley and that is how we used to handle RMA's from big stores like Fry's or BestBuy, at least that is how it was done back then.

Did you update the firmware on it LOS91GT?
