Flight yoke diplay flickers

[hawkhero]

Hi, My Pro flight yoke clock/timer green display window is flickering. I got a RA to return it to Saitek. Great fast customer service. Just wanted to know if anyone has had this problem. They told me if they can't fix it I'll get a new one!

Yes, I am having the problem too. This is the second yoke I've had a problem with. Patience running out.

I have the same problem. I have been emailing Saitek support about the problem since I bought the product last August. But they have not answered my last two requests for help. I have waited over a month now. Sad.

If you buy this product you better be willing to get it up and running yourself.

I have tried your unplug/replug trick and it's working for me in Vista64.

Good luck.

I also have had this problem for the second time! Each unit seems to last about 4 - 5 months!

Getting a bit fed up with Saitek products

It's not just that the display flickers, if you look into the Control Panel for the Saitek yoke you will also notice that the display flicker affects the control axis! Not Good!

I will now attempt to return this a second time. The supplier (Flightstore -UK) refuses to refund the postage as the unit has been in my pocession for more than 30 days. In total I will have spent more than £22 in return postage and carrier insurance.

This is the last time I will be purchasing any Saitek gear!
