quadstick is no longer recognized by the PC

[Johny Stiffler]

Hello, I have a problem with my quadstick.

The problem is the following: whenever I connect the quadstick to my windows  PC, the pc is not recognized the quadstick. I have tried it with 3 other windows pcs a MacBook and many different phones with android. The only thing that makes the quadstick is in permanent loop light up. The problem suddenly came up and was not from the beginning. The last thing I did was to load the Xbox 360 program into the quadstick. Then I had shut down the pc. Since then, the quadstick does not work anymore. Is there a sip puff combination to reset the quadstick?

I can't find your name or email address in the list of orders, so I don't know what model quadstick you have, or when you bought it.

If the problem is a configuration issue, you can erase the flash memory with the following:

This should work with either the FPS or original models if the firmware is greater than 1142:

When the Quadstick powers up, it goes through sequence where the leds flash in a specific pattern.  While they are all flashing pink just after it is plugged in, push the lip button all the way in while simultaneously sipping on the center hole.  Hold that for several seconds until the Quadstick resets again and all the lights start flashing pink.   If necessary, you can remove the tube for the center hole and have an assistant sip on it while holding the lip button all the way in.

For many original models:

While the leds are flashing pink, just after, but not before, power is applied, press directly in on the mouthpiece to activate the switch in the base of the joystick and hold it until a couple of seconds after the leds stop flashing.  This is probably too painful for you to do with your mouth.  An assistant can press in on the mouthpiece with both thumbs.  You should hear a click when the switch activates.

Afterwards, you can copy the Default Configuration and Default Preferences into the drive using QMP, then update the firmware to the latest version, then load in all your custom CSV files, or I can send you a ZIP file containing the original configuration files.

Send me your order number so I can look up what you have.

It can be difficult to trigger the flash format function:  You have to sip hard on the center hole and push the lip button ALL the way in (farther than you normally can with a lip), apply power to the Quadstick and HOLD it until it reboots.  This can take ten to fifteen seconds before it reboots.

If you can't get it to reformat the flash drive using that method, it will have to be sent in to be fixed.

Instructions for repairs can be found here.
