Driving Force Pro ps2 doesn't auto-calibrate!

Archived from groups: alt.games.video.sony-playstation2 (More info?)

India it is 220v at 50hz. The power adaptor supplied with the wheel
seems to support it. I marked with 110-240v and 50/60hz for input, so
it should support it. Any how I will try to get some other adaptor
matching the output rating of supplied adaptor.

Is it getting the right power?
US is 110Volt (IIRC) and UK is 220Volt... does your power adapter cope with
dual voltages?
I'm not sure but there might be a difference with Amperes too.

Just a thought.

Of course reading this again I notice that you're in India, what voltage are
you there? (could be the same issue!).

I have the same problem (Italy)!

The worst is that at the beginning it was workin fine, then suddenly a
couple of weeks ago it changed...
I fixed the problem of auto-calibration rounding the wheel by hand, as
it does when it starts. But then you do not have FF...
Additionaly some time I have a faked braking: the pedal is not pressed,
but the indicator on the screen shows about 10% of braking (and the car
is obviously braked)

I found the power adaptor to be faulty and got it repaired and every
thing works fine.
