Quick Release Pin is too tight or too loose

Quick release slipping
Problem: Wheel/quick release is slipping and center point is changing. Cause: The conical shaft adapter is slipping. This affected many of the very first produced Simucube 2 units in May 2019.
Device stuck at startup
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.
Antenna connector / cable issues
Problem: The external antenna connector is loose. Cause: Loose antenna connector. Note: Do not spin the antenna connector to not cause the internal cable to wind up and break.

Firmware update does find the device
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.
