Dual Strike suddenly not working

[Nick Chow]

I was at a gaming session Friday night and was playing SC5 on the 360,
when one of the PS3 stations needed another stick, so I unplugged it
from the 360 and brought it over to the PS3 and all I got when I
plugged it into the PS3 was the ring of 4 xbox controller # indicator
lights just sat there blinking. When I brought it back to the 360
nothing happened at all. It had been working fine on both the 360 and
the ps3 previously but crapped out mid session. It was a Dual Strike
v2 but without the screw terminals for the buttons. Any ideas on what
happened? What i might need to check?

Please re-install the firmware following the instructions here: <https://docs.google.com/document/d/17Nyr6vPujHAXz3PxjKwKBWEf8Lf6xNjQocsVg_qAqNc/preview#heading=h.791cba2b84e6>

This might solve your problem, if not you will have to do an RMA.

When I plug it into my PC it loads as a generic HIDcompliant device
with no details, and when I run the batch file i get this error:

Leaving bootloader after finishing.
Flash file: "dual_strike_firmware_atmega168_V3.3.1.hex"

Press any key to continue . . .

In multiple attempts, it gets to various stages of completion, but
always throws the communication error.

Such errors usually point towards a bad USB connection. If you can rule that out absolutely (e.g. by connecting a very short USB cable and trying again) please do an RMA.
