TrackIR wont turn on - Mark8 - 15.01.2010

Today when I was going to play FSX I turned on my trackir 4 to play, when I noticed it didnt want to turn on.

I tried reinstalling the software many times, but with no luck.

Any help? thank you.

What version of the software are you running?

There is a common problem with the TrackIR v. 5 software regarding USB power. If you have too many things plugged in to your USB ports (even if they are powered remotely, like a USB hub), the Track Ir software drivers will fail and drop the device.

An instant fix is to just unplug it and plug it back in into a different USB port and unplug any unused USB devices.
A better fix (if you're using a Track Ir 4) is to roll back the software and drivers to the last 4.x version.
If you are using a 5.0, you're stuck. Just keep checking in with Natural Point for updated drivers.

Yes, had the same problem with my TIR 3 when I had it plugged into a USB hub, hooking it directly into the computer solved the issue.
