I don't know why this thread went dead, but after many years of faithful service, my throttle turned into a brick after simply unplugging it from a powered USB hub to play a game that didn't like seeing more than one controller, then plugging it back into the same hub. Upon further research, it seems many throttles turn into a brick fairly quickly due to some design flaw that doesn't like power fluctuations, but my throttle went through countless cycles over the years without a problem. So now I bought a new stick/throttle set since it was more cost effective than just buying the throttle. I am also going to get the board to fix the "brick", but the part isn't even in stock right now and I was told to ask about ordering it in May.
Long story short, new member number: 62016 for $390 (had to wait for it to come from Germany to get that price).
Old one was: 07236 for $350
