ThrustMaster Force Fedback wheel suddenly locks up for good!

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone else out there has had the following occur when
using the Thrustmaster Force Feedback wheel (the one that looks like a
Ferrari wheel and is silver in the middle of the wheel).

- while using the wheel (and while everything was going just fine) I go
around a RH turn in F1 2001 and that's it! The wheel suddenly lock to the
right and become completely unturnable/unuasable after that. After turning
everything off, and unhooking the wheel from the computer and power source,
the wheel is still totally stiff and can barely be turned in any direction.

If anyone else has had this happen and has a solution of some sorts for
this, please let me know so that I can get this thing up and going again.

By the way, the FF wheel is about 1 1/3 years old, and worked without a
hitch until this event a day or two ago.

thanks,

Chris
