My wheel was working perfectly until tonight its had less than 5 hours use
since new and the two green LEDs just flash permanently....it shows up in my
XP Game Controllers screen and it shows up as being installed and ready to
use when i plug it into the USB port but it wont work.Nothing happens in the
calibration screen no movement at all.Its crazy how its started all of a
sudden....does anyone know what the flashing LEDs mean?

Many thanks for any help it will allow me to sleep :)

Have you checked wether the little external power supply connector is
connected properly? Should be obvious I know, but it's happened to me
too when I thought all was fine and all of a sudden, I lost all ff while
driving.

cheers, uwe

The leds flashing means the wheel didn't initialise properly, so, like Uwe
says, the power for the FF motor might be missing or something broke in the
motor control.

Make sure the Power plug is plugged in properly at the wheel end?

Ok here is an update and many thanks to all the repliers :) it is
appreciated. I contacted Logitech UK and as its still in warranty he said i
could have a straight replacement...but he says my power supply has
gone...as plugging it in and unplugging it changes nothing and i dont get
the wheel moving anymore upon plugging it in....he said the power for the
flashing lights is coming from my USB port not the power supply as was
proven by unplugging it and two flashing lights is synonymous with that
...so all is fine and under warranty. :) Hope that helps someone else

Cheers
