T300RS + SF1000 stuck in calibration loop (turns left only) & black screen - Hardware fault?
Hi everyone,
Looking for some advice or to see if anyone has resolved a similar issue while I wait for Thrustmaster support.
Setup:
- Thrustmaster T300RS Servo Base
- Formula Wheel Add-On Ferrari SF1000
- Raceline Pedals III
The Issue:
My setup worked flawlessly for a few weeks, but today it suddenly failed:
- Calibration fail: The base only turns left during startup calibration and stops (doesn't complete left-right-center).
- SF1000 screen stays completely black.
- No wheel buttons, steering rotation, or pedal inputs register in the Control Panel test tab.
- Force feedback resistance is felt when turning manually, but software doesn't register rotation.
What I've already done:
Complete driver & firmware reinstall (Firmware 34.00 / Driver 2.11.57.0).
Resolved Windows "T300 Bootloader" Code 28 error.
Power cycled, tried different USB ports, verified PC mode (Green LED).
Windows recognizes it as "Thrustmaster Advanced Mode Racer" with Status OK, but still zero input response.
Has anyone experienced this specific issue where calibration gets stuck turning left and the rim screen stays off? Is this a known Hall sensor/encoder or internal PCB fault?
Thanks for any insights!
