Been having a problem with my SteelSeries SRW-S1 wheel on my G27 lately.
So i sent this to SteelSeries support earlier, no reply yet. Thought I may aswell post it here since we have some smart people.
I have recently had a problem with my SRW. I mounted it to a G27 and it ran great for 3 months then it started to disconnect itself from my computer. I have located the problem to the gyro because whenever I turn the wheel to a certain degree (A little before 90) it disconnects and quickly reconnects, freezing my game.
I was wondering if there is any way to disable the gyro and the paddles in the back. All I need is the buttons.
If someone has any idea, it'd be appreciated. I dont think Mikey has had this problem and he has the same wheel as me.
The SRW disconnects fully? Almost sounds like a loose wire or short. It might be touching or pulling on the wire when you move it that way. If it's just the wheel and inside I don't think there's much you can do besides get a replacement, unless you want to open it up (a few photos of it taken apart: http://forums.atomicmpc.com.au/index.ph ... opic=50423).
This is assuming the g27 inputs are all fine and it's only the SRW that is being disconnected (i.e. FFB still works from the g27 base but the buttons etc. doesn't work on the wheel), they're separate USB ports right?

The G27 itself is fine.I mounted the SRW to the G27. I'll take a closer look inside to see if I can find anything.
But what happens is this: I'll be racing doing a turn when my game freezes and Windows makes the "Duh Dumph" noise and the LED's on the wheel itself go out, then when it unfreezes the game runs fine but there are no more LEDs.
I'd be alright with no LEDs, i just would like the buttons. I could just take the whole board out of it and just use it as a rim.
Start at the back of your computer case, near the top there should be a power cable, trace that back to the wall plug and make sure both ends fit snugly into their sockets.
I'm assuming that this is a USB device. If so you can try going into your DM then to USB controller. Click on properties on the port that has the device on it, then to power management. Uncheck the Allow computer to turn off the device for power saving (not sure if that is the exact wording) and try that.
