Device stuck at startup[edit | edit source]

Problem: Device stuck in "Waiting for drive to get ready" and does not start correctly. The E-stop button status follows the real e-stop button. Possible cause: Internal cable for the power button is placed in a bad/sensitive location inside the device. Note: This service instruction is only applicable to Simucube 2 Sport and Pro R1 units (Pro with 2 power supplies) that were produced before August 2020. R1 units have a rocker switch near the one of the rear corners as a power switch, where as R2 units have a on/off toggle switch near the center of the back plate.

Firmware update does find the device[edit | edit source]

Problem: Firmware update is stuck after sending command to device, and does not update the device at all. True Drive will just quit after clicking the exit button. Cause: Razer mouse driver installs a filter driver that blocks the packets used by True Drive to do the update.
