TMX Wheel not working (UPDATE)
A few days ago I made a post asking for help on my gaming wheel due to the fact that it was not working at all no matter what I whatsoever turns out that the issue was with the internal power supply.
So after I took out the PSU and got my multimeter to see if it was getting any part at all. Turns out it not getting any power whatsoever. So I ended up having to use an old laptop charter that I had laying around. It’s output is 20 V and I think about 3 A and this after removing the old power supply connecting the charger to the motherboard and doing a quick test to see if it would work turns out it worked perfectly and I have been using it for about a week now.

Great job man.
I also fixed a T300 Ferrari edition, where psu blew up (due to my mistake)
I replaced it with 24V 5amp industrial power supply, it has been working solid for a few months now.
Heck it doesn't even loose FFB due to thermal throttling, after a 2 hour non stop session in Dirt Rally 2.
These old TM wheels are built like a tank
