| 321564 | 2005-02-04 18:16:00 | It has been suggested to me that my PSU might not be enough to handle my joystick. I have a 350w no name PSU. I have six USB ports. Five of them in use. My comp is an Athlon 64 3200+ with 1024 megs ram and 120 gig SATA HD. LAN and fire wire dis-enabled in bios. Sound also dis-enabled. Nothing else gives any problem. Does a cordless joy stick require oodles of power?

I notice I have a Microsoft PC-joystick driver installed. Could it be causing interference with Logitech joystick? Jack |

| 321565 | 2005-02-04 18:42:00 | Have you installed any Logitech software for it? Normally you have to instal before plugging in USB devices. | PaulD (232) | ||

Joystick will work sometimes. Though recently it has spent more time refusing to work than it does working. After installing software the software offers to calibrate joystick BUT then it can not find joystick.!!! Jack |

| 321567 | 2005-02-04 20:39:00 | have you tried a different brand of batteries? | Prescott (11) | ||
| 321568 | 2005-02-04 22:07:00 | Yes | JJJJJ (528) | ||
| 321569 | 2005-02-04 22:21:00 | have you tried unplugging some of the other USB devices before using the joystick? | 4bes (2848) | ||
| 321570 | 2005-02-04 22:26:00 | Yes tried that too | JJJJJ (528) | ||
| 321571 | 2005-02-05 01:03:00 | have you tried a different wireless joystick for testing purposes? | Prescott (11) | ||
| 321572 | 2005-02-05 02:40:00 | Any USB device can take a maximum of 500 mA at 5V from the USB port. That's 2.5 watts. If the joystick is USB, it is designed to work with 500 mA or less. Each USB port has 500 mA available, unless it's an unpowered USB hub, which can supply a total of 500 mA. Youi have been told codswalllop, Jack. |

| 321573 | 2005-02-05 02:44:00 | have you tried a different wireless joystick for testing purposes? No I don't have acess to one. I'm going to buy a new joystick and I'm trying to decide on a PSU model or a gameport one. If a get a gameport one I will have to install a game port. My MB supports it but I haven't installed it. I'm pretty sure it's the J/S at fault. USB ports are all working, Jack |
