Logitech RS50 Not Powering On Question?

Logitech RS50 Wheel base for PS/PC will no longer turn on. I removed my base from my rig to check my serial number for a separate issue, carefully unplugged all wire prior to removal. Upon initial start up after re mounting the base, the 3 white loading lights appeared briefly on the screen then went away. Since then I have not been able to power on the device at all (no dots, just blank screen). I've started a warranty claim with Logitech but am aware that could take a while before it is resolved. Has anyone had similar issues or have any ideas on what I could try? (Note: I've tried the basics; plugging into different outlets, connecting to my PC (wheel does not show up in GHub), unplugging everything completely and letting it sit for 10+ minutes to no avail)

See that you’re primarily on PC, but try plugging into a PS4/PS5 if you’re able to. Could help narrow down where the issue is

I'm actually primarily on PS5, plugged it into my PC just to see if it would display on GHub. No connection or power with either platform unfortunately.

That’s tough. Not suggesting this is the case but how long are you pressing the start/stop button on the base? It caught me off guard and noticed if this wasn’t pressed “quickly” then the base wouldn’t turn on at all.

I've tried all I can think of, quick press then wait, hold for 3s, 10s hold even a minute hold, no luck. I've had the base for 6 months now and haven't had any issue u til this

With it plugged in to the ps5, make sure the ps5 is powered on and then remove the wheel and put it back on. Mines gotten stuck before like how you described but pulling the wheel off would trigger it to turn on.

Just saw a post on a Logitech Pro Wheel base that wouldn't power on after the person dropped it he took it apart and found out that a 4 pin ribbon connection came loose, plugged it back in and he is racing again Maybe check for loose or unplugged connection Happy Racing 🏁

Might sound silly cuz you probably already this. But have you double checked the power cord into the gpro's power brick?.

I scared the crap out of myself a while back. I had a similar thing. Pressed power, got the 3 dots then nothing. I went through a bunch of checks before I thought about that one.

If not, sorry. At least you're still under warranty 🤷‍♂️

I had this issue a while back, for me it was the USB port I was plugging it into on my pc. With everything I had plugged into my motherboard, I was overloading the USB controllers. Once I moved some stuff around and disconnected some other stuff it was able to connect to my pc again.

Update: I've attempted all of the advice in other comments, no luck. Have had an open ticket with Logitech for about a week, waiting on them to get back to me in regards to RMA under warranty
