Luckily I have 2 g27s. The broken one was the rotary encoder. I was quite hestaint putting my functional to my other pc, but it worked perfectly. I thought it was the software at first, but nah, it's the wheel. Thanks for this youtube.
The encoder wheel on my G25 cracked recently, so I bought the metal replacement parts (Encoder wheel and the internal frame, which had also cracked), but no matter what I do I have the same problem as you show at the beginning of the video. The wheel spins clockwise, then anti-clockwise, hitting both bump stops but never returns to centre, the two silver screws in the motor are tight and I've tried multiple USB ports, but problem persists and I can't find anything anywhere is solve it.
What about the cable that goes to the paddles,mine has been cut Off by the friction it was making, dad says it’s bad quality and I don’t know what to do
THX BRO VERY VERY BIG THANX u save my 280e i use your open manual my gyro was unmounted ittlebit and other side of board geeting rusty i clean and fix to motor againg and work fine !
I already replaced the encoder wheel which fixed my flashing light issue. The wheel calibrates after playing for a few minutes the wheel is still losing its center position. What could this be?
I don't know what the problem with my steering wheel is, I turn my PC on and it completes the calibration process. Still, after a couple of seconds, it completely disconnects, the wheel stops responding, the light on my shifter blinks, and it won't show up on the control panel, is this the way to fix it? or do I need a new wheel entirely?
Hello, I got a Logitech racing wheel for Christmas 2014 and started playing it all the time. Then my disc snapped for gt 6, so I stopped playing it for a while. When I got a new one it was 180° right and it starts the calibration fine and centres up fine but as soon as I move it any was it goes 180° right and I can't play games anymore what can I do I don't wanna open it cause I'm 12 and I still have a 3 year guarantee
Hi, I use my G27 on my PC, and now when I plug it in, the steering does not calibrate right, left then Centre anymore. When in game, all the buttons work, except for steering - I can't steer when in game (I have the latest firmware available). Will what you showed us fix that problem, do you know? Thanks in advance.
hey, i've got also a problem like that. when i put the usb cable into the ps3 the steer turns completely to right turns back and stops into the middle and go back tho the right, it stays repeating this process. when its rotating the light on my gear module burns but when the wheel stops the light also stops burning. do you think its to the encoder? i've opened it the screws are still tight and the encoder wheel is fine the holes arent dirty or broken? thanks for your help
So my G27 worked fine a few months ago … today I tried to use it & it doesn’t work at all !?! Wheel doesn’t even turn / calibrate when I switch it on !?! No lights working on the wheel ? However Green little light on shifter connected works so I am baffled ? 🤷🏻♂️ … I have tried various attempts at fixing today but nothing works ? Do you think it’s a Hardware or Software issue ??
Does it make a difference that my encoder circuit board is upside down from yours? And if I wriggle it and it isn't loose, does it mean that the problem i have isn't to do with this rotary encoder?
Mulla on just toi sama ongelma ja tää autto paljon, kiitos. Ajattelin vain, että miten tuon encoderin piirilevyn alla olevan ruuvin saa kiristettyä? Eihän sinne ruuvari mahdu?
Hyvä että oli avuksi! Tarkotatko siis sitä muoviplättyä, joka kiinnittää sen piirilevyn ja systeemit siihen moottoriin? Kyllä kai niitä saa jokaista ruuvia kiristettyä, kun vaan jaksaa tarpeeksi purkaa.
Jes, kiitokset Olli näistä ohjeista säästin 300 euroa kun korjasin ite. Omalle G27:lle kävi sama juttu, oli halki tuo muovilevy ja ratti lakkasi lopulta toimimasta tuon takia. Epäilen syyksi valmistuksen aikaista asennuksessa tapahtunutta virhettä joka nyt sitten hajosi lopullisesti. Tuo levy hajosi ajaessani Assetto Corsaa yhden viikonlopun aikana suht paljon, ensin oli vähän väliä ratti killissä kesken ajon ja lopulta sitten hajosi kokonaan. Asennuksen aikaista virhettä epäilen siksi, koska ratti keskittää nyt täydellisesti kun tuo osa on vaihdettu ehjään, edes uutena ei ollut noin hyvä, vaan siinä on aina ollut ihmeellinen kuollut alue ratin keskellä, sitä ei enää ole vaan renkaat alkaa kääntyä heti kun rattia vähän kääntää, Jes!!!Veikkaan, että kun mulla oli AC:ssä nyt pitkän tauon jäljiltä default asetukset jossa tienpinnan röykyt 50 % niin tuo tärisytti ratin rikki, tai siis sen levyn halki, nyt laitoin asetuksen 10 % ja se on tasaisempaa kyytiä.Ja tosiaan uusi muovilevy löytyi vanhasta vähän käytetystä Logitech DFGT ratista, siinä oli ihan samanlainen osa. Samalla rasvailin polkimien vieterit kun jarru narisi jo niin pahasti, pikku vaivalla sai ratin ihan uuteen uskoon, kiitos TH-cam ja kiitos Olli "FanBoost" Pahkala...kyllä mä vähä ihmettelinki kun se kulki niin kovaa :)Osanotot menetetylle rahapotille, no tuleehan noita kisoja lisää...oli kiva havaita että Pro kuskit on Pro kuskeja ja Formulakuskit jotain muuta :)
Keni9900026 Hahaa mahtava kuulla et oli apua! Joo mulla käyny käytännössä sama silloin, liika röykytys ja encooderi rikki. Kiitosta ja ei muuta ku kovaa ajoa!! :)
hey man i bought a g27 about a month ago and i had the same problem as you so I sent it back a few days ago in exchange for a new one which i received today. Is this a problem with the rotary encoder or just something in the settings ? Because I must be very unlucky if I get a broken one twice right ?
JamesCube I suppose that it is problem with rotary encoder. But, rarely in any exchanged stuff u get 2 faulty products unless u are super unlucky. I think you should try to check power cable and USB-connections to see if it's really rotary encoder.
How do you disconnect the plastic pieces that connect the wheel to the circuit board? Mine seem to be stuck or something. I'm scared to use any more force and damage the wires or board itself, but it will not come off. Any advice? Please help!
dave watson Do you mean the circuit board where the leds and shifter paddles are connected or the circuit board of rotary encoder? Sry for the late answer
my G27 doesn't steer anymore, all other buttons work, pedals and shifter, the only issue is the steering. The shifter light blinks and if I plug the wheel to a different USB, it doesn't detect as G27, it detects as Logitech Driving Force model. I checked the encoder and it's cracked indeed (but still in one piece). I'm not so sure that issue is causing this problem, can it be that a slight crack can do all this? anyway I tried to glue it, but the issue was not solved. Did you have those exact symptoms?
The reason for removing the wheel, shifter pads, etc., is to be able to remove the cover? If the plastic that goes around the wheel shaft at the bottom was not there, one could just remove the cover and not the wheel, etc.. No? It looks like I could just use a hot knife and cut the bottom plastic off, below the wheel shaft and just remove the cover. What do you think?
if I remember correctly I tried to take the cover off only, but ended up removing the whole thing. there are connectors in the wheel and the rim which needs to be removed at least and the cover doesn't flip out unless you remove the wheel. you can try, but I found out that removing every screw is easier!
so my wheels had a bit of use nothing outlandish but its got several miles on it for sure. i have this strange issue that seems like software... currently its flashing power light and no calibration or position tracking. (i have purchased a new power brick and it didnt fix it but it has worked with it so i know it works.) my wheel was working great and one day i was playing assetto corsa (which crashes my pc) i get a strange buzz freeze with AC and a few other games. annoying af. but this last time it broke my wheel... i stripped it down to check it out didnt see anything ... put it all back to gether didnt fix anything.... then i switched to another usb and it came on... i was excited. i hopped onto AC again started testing at a track. made two laps then i restarted the session. FFB was gone. i thought that was flippin weird. so i closed the game and reloaded back to the track still no FFB... no settings were wonky or anything... went into controller settings and it said everything was fine and the wheel's position was being tracked accurately. so i shut down my pc and restarted it.... and bam the wheel went back to its flashing power light and no calibration no anything from the wheel... all buttons works shifters work pedals work... no wheel at all tho. ill crack it open and check it out see if i can fix it or break it worse lol. but if anyone has any idea im open to info.
Hey ive done this method and unfortunettly after a while it broke the part apart I will try this again but if I don't suceed is it possible to buy the who rotary encoder? or just a steering wheel?
Hi man, I'm not sure then what's the problem. Usually fixing the encoder helps on this one, but maybe the motor has broken or something. Sorry I can't help :/
Alrighty, so I've taken my wheel apart and seated the screws as shown, but while I was messing around in there I accidentally turned the optical wheel a bit and I believe that is what is causing my centering to be a bit to the right now, as I have taken it apart and made sure the steering rack is properly centered twice now. Any tips on how to get that optical wheel to the proper position?
It actually turns out I had somehow missed that my optical wheel was cracked, overconfidence that the wheel was too new I guess... So if you have this issue, double check your optical wheel!
Great Vid! I am having a problem with my g27 wheel. It calibrates fine but after using for a minute or so the center point of the wheel moves to the left, up until about 45 degrees off center. I think about getting the brass optical encoder. Do you think that is the issue, or could it be something else? Thanks!
Olli Pahkala Thanks Olli! Logitech support just got back to me, after a week of waiting. I will try and get a new one through them, if not I think I might just have to open it up and replace the encoder. I will post an update once completed. Thanks again for your input.
Hah wishful thinking guess. Since I purchased it through ebay they can not do anything for me, and even talk to the self proclaimed "highest person that I could speak with." Looks like I will be checking the encoder tonight!
I had the same problem, but my rotary encoder wheel was cracked. I glued the wheel but afterwards the steering wheel just spin a little, maybe it is beacuse I got glue on the wheel, Can I buy a new wheel somewhere?
This guy gave information from it here on comments few months back: Aldo Soeprayogi: buy a replacement part at cmlaserservice.com That wheel problem is a nasty one =/ I don't know if Leo Bodnar sells also these kind of things, or simxperience.com.
Thank You! h=How the heck did those two screws on the optical sensor come loose??? Thanks for showing what was causing my wheel to quit calibrating and finally not being "detected" in iRacing.
Glad to hear it helped mate! :) Hah I guess the motor rumbles the system quite a bit so the screws eventually untighten themselves.. excellent wheel though nevertheless!
William Ulrich you need to be sure that the encoder disc is firmly attached to the axel, if not it slides and center of position moves since encoder is not keeping up with the axel. have u checked that one?
Hi mate you seem to know what you're talking about so here's my problem. Had a cracked rotary encoder, bought a new one from cm laser service. Fitted it tonight and now the wheel won't fully calibrate, isn't read by the ps3 and gives no force feedback. The pedals, gear shifter and button on the wheel still work but the steering itself does not. Any ideas? the encoder is sitting in the middle of the slot where the old one sat. I put some oil on the shaft as the encoder wouldnt go on but i cleaned it afterwards. I'm stuck. Cheers
Ok. And I assume you checked all the cables that they were ok inside the wheel? Interesting problem. And when the calibration stops at the other end the encoder doesn't keep spinning? I had that problem once.
what if nothing happens at all when you plug it into your pc ... i just but a used g27 set and the pedals are read the shifter is read the buttoms and shifters on the wheel are read but it does not rotate when i plug it in ... and it is not read at all by the pc ... this is the second wheel i got from the same guy ...
I really need some help ASAP i just got my g25 and it got the same problem, the encoder but it only has like some scraches in the middle not full breaks. How can i fix this the best way?
so, i glue'd it back in there but i dont know if i centered the black bar correctly. will it give me the same error or can i almost garantee i need a new encoder?
Hello guys, I need your help! I was playing Assetto Corsa and while I was racing my force feedback stopped working, no more force in the wheel. Force feedback dead?? :(
Θανασης Μαρουλης: Most likely yes, if you haven't been able to fix the problem by changing USB- or power adapter ports where you have plugged the wheel.
+Olli Pahkala hey, I just re opened it and the problem was gone... !! :) I think it got stuck somewhere... Still thanks for the help and the fast answers !! Thumps up for the video 👍🏽
I just got my G27 and everything seemed to work. But in fact everything BUT the steering itself is working. Even the buttons and the shift paddles on the steering wheel... any advice?
+Olli Pahkala my problem is similar. it does everything normally but in time of driving first the ffb started getting strange. some time later it was ok but it was a bit uncentered to left... not alot but it disturbs my driving bcs its uncentered
Olli Pahkala I found but that I want to be sure is the disc only problem for the first problem because it’s 15$ it is not a lot but if it’s something other which is too expensive
Hehd Hdhd I think the disc is the only problem. When you get a new one make sure u glue it properly so it won't spin around the axis again and you're good to go. :) Keep me posted how it goes
Olli Pahkala ok now i will have to buy one from ebay and change because mine is cracked on 3 places and I don’t think it can be repaired but thank you for tha info because i was thinking to sell it if its something very expensive to repair but when it is only for 15$ I’m keeping it for now😂
Mitä pitäis tehä ku mulla toimii kaikki muut. Esim kaasu, vaihteet ja muut napit. Mut sit se ei tuota kääntymis juttua tee, eikä halua muutenkaan ottaa kääntämistä. (siis se on iha löysä, että en tarkota sitä, et se ei kääntyis ollenkaa. Vaa niiku ei ota ohjeita vastaa)
I don't have that problem but when I turn the wheel like 5 degrees to left left or right there is no force feedback and after that angle of 5 degrees turn the wheel will work perfect with force feedback centring It's always done this since I bought it second hand but it ETS 2 and such games when you turn a corner and you want the wheel to centre it's self it gets stuck at 5 degrees so the wheel still turns and it's near impossible to set the wheel so it will go just straight... Help
+Olli Pahkala no I've never took it apart I don't no if a previous owner has done so in the past but I doubt it .... Also if I turn the wheel and the force feedback try's to centre it the wheel clicks and vibrates but it's really loud when it happens I don't now if this is to do with enforcer think ....
Hi Nicola, Just watch this video and fix the problem. That calibration problem indicates typically rotary encoder looseness, so here is video how to fix it =) Holla at me if it doesn't work for you
Thanks man it works fine :) Oh by the way, recently when I press the brake and then release it, it stays pressed in-game for a while, and sometimes it activates in-game without anyone touching it, I think it might be the wire, have you got any tips?
Nice, good that it helped! =) I think you have either dust in the pedals, or the potentiometers have gathered debris so the recognition surface doesn't detect the right position of pedal. In my other pedal video, I show how to do basic maintenance to pedals. Only problem is that it's in Finnish, but you get the point how to open pedal box and just remove all dust and stuff what doesn't belong there. If that doesn't help, here's video how to clean potentiometer: How to clean your pedal potentiometers on Logitech G25/G27 (Spiky pedal fix)
I'm reaching out here as a last resort. I hope someone can help... I bought a G27 a few weeks ago from eBay (no warranty for me!) and encountered the dreaded optical encoder issue after a week of use. I have fitted a brass encoder and secured it with adhesive. The wheel calibrates and works okay, but it still drifts off centre after a few laps...any ideas?
John Nicholl I solved! Practically , the infrared emitter , fired infrared slightly crooked , and not passed completely through the wheel encoder , not coming to the receiver , and by losing calibration . I noticed , looking at the encoder functioning , through the camera of my Nexus 5 . The IR should point exactly through the holes in the wheel encoder . I had to rotate the infrared emitter , with tweezers , about two degrees , now works wonders ! Hope this can help you! I was going crazy...
You mean above the rotary encoder or general cover of the wheel? Rotary encoder cover should come off when you push it to the middle from the both sides and lift at the same time.
Have you opened the wheel and checked the rotary encoder? Other problems can be your A/C plugin (power) or USB, try to change plugs where those two are placed if it fixes the problem.
0hMagic I bet you'll do fine, u are younger than me so u should have more stable hands ;D If those plug changes don't work, just be brave and open that wheel. It's not difficult, just follow my steps here and do it like you have all the time in the world! Don't rip up things and stay steady and calm and it is easy as eating donut!
I have a problem with my wheel, I can't turn it more than perhaps 1-5 degrees in any direction, if I turn it more it gets really slow and instantly steers back to the ~1-5 degree zone. This also happens when in games. There is some exceptions when it does work but is still really hard to turn. I try to change the settings for the wheel but nothing happens. Only time wheel is can be steered freely is when in the properties tab where you can test shift, paddles and wheel and so on. When I turn that window down the wheel instantly feels like bicycle wheel in mud. Also the wheel doesn't ever light up, except for a few seconds when it's calibrating when I plug it in. When I connect it to my ps3 nothing happens either. It's practically unusable and I have no idea why. Paddles and shift works fine. PS. I have all the right software and I've reinstalled and so on with no result. I have unplugged it and plugged it back in and tried all my usb entrances. However no one really seem to have had this problem (except one on some forum who switched to usb 2.0 and made it work). Is there anyone with similar problems or who can relate to my problems? Who have a solution or a tip? Thanks in advance...
I have downloaded software for Win 64 from this website: support.logitech.com/sv_se/product/5184 However it has had a previous owner and no CD was included when I bought it.
Yes, tried 4 different USB, on the back and on the front and two different power slots :/ Will bring it back to store today and see if my warranty works
I fix my g27 too by the way thanks for the video. Anyways fix it but if you use force feedback on iracing it won't last long as you I desided to go with fanatec also. Exited to try their badass products.
Thanks for the advice but I got as you say the CPA 3 also got the shifter V as for the wheel I got the RGTX the budget wasn't so big so I desided for a wheel that can be use on ovals as on roads.
Not sure Alberto, I think if you open the wheel like I do at the start of the video you can check the buttons and are the switches positioned wrong or something.
hello friend. my g27 had the same problem. i fixed the sensor, but now when i turn it on, it do not calibrate, only made half turns and do not calibrate, you know what is this, thanks man, nice video.
Hello and thanks mate! I think you have to open the wheel again and see is there something loose again. Or other thing is to try change USB-ports and AC-plugs, if there's problem in there.
+Olli Pahkala just checked out fanatec looks like im going to need a loan from bill gates for pedals wheel / wheel base/shifter /E brake they have great stuff
VERY nice instruction video! But regarding 20:30 the motor cover, it just doesn't come off here, but seems to be sealed :-( Edit : No, fixed! with th use of a flat screwdriver :-) My problem is exact as described in 00:25, and just happened this day out of nowhere. All buttons are OK. Was just about to order a G923 but think I will fight a bit more to get my G27 up and running again, since I simply love it.
hatte das Probleme die Tage auch.....allerdings war weder was gebrochen noch war was locker.......es befand sich " STAUB " auf dieser Scheibe so das die Infrarot Strahlen blockiert waren.....sprich ich werd Pauschal 1x im halben Jahr sauber machen :-)

Couldn't have done without this video
Thank you very much ........ from Japan
Thanks worked a treat! Hardest part was the black box that covers the rotary encoder, used flat head screwdriver.
Brilliant mate, fixed my G27 in half hour. I owe you a pint next time you're in London! Nearly chucked the thing out the window!
did he get that pint?
Luckily I have 2 g27s. The broken one was the rotary encoder. I was quite hestaint putting my functional to my other pc, but it worked perfectly. I thought it was the software at first, but nah, it's the wheel. Thanks for this youtube.

Very good video, especially to see how to take it apart
glad u like, thx :)

I did everything properly and the wheel worked properly for about 5 min without going off center, 5 min later though and its back to going off center.
Have anyone an idea how to fix a dent in the logitech logo?
Hi, I have just dismantled my g27, and there is no screws to tighten or a plate, It's just a black box, can you help me?
Yo! Remove the black box, screws are under it. =)
my G27 doesn't steer anymore, all other buttons work, pedals and shifter, the only issue is the steering.
The shifter light blinks and if I plug the wheel to a different USB, it doesn't detect as G27, it detects as Logitech Driving Force model.

Mr President so, have u tried to fix this encoder?
I tried gluing it but didn't change anything, so, I don't know if that's the issue or if it's a deeper one
I found my encoder and its in perrfect condiction, all lights work etc but when I plug it in the wheel doesnt start or calibrate it does nothing?
The reason for removing the wheel, shifter pads, etc., is to be able to remove the cover? If the plastic that goes around the wheel shaft at the bottom was not there, one could just remove the cover and not the wheel, etc.. No?
It looks like I could just use a hot knife and cut the bottom plastic off, below the wheel shaft and just remove the cover. What do you think?
if I remember correctly I tried to take the cover off only, but ended up removing the whole thing. there are connectors in the wheel and the rim which needs to be removed at least and the cover doesn't flip out unless you remove the wheel.
you can try, but I found out that removing every screw is easier!
why did you remove the actual wheel and not just the buttom ??
yea i realized that after i did it with my wheel ... :D but thanks anyway
/
Hey Olli my wheel doesnt move at all, but the lights are on and the buttons work. what do think could be the problem? thanks!
Hi! Rotary encoder is loose or broken is my best bet! =)
ok thanks! i'll get it checked.
Why did you removed wheel to get at the end hood off ?? Couldnt you removed the hood it self without wheel ?
There are cables which requires to take the wheel of :P
so my wheels had a bit of use nothing outlandish but its got several miles on it for sure.
i have this strange issue that seems like software...
currently its flashing power light and no calibration or position tracking. (i have purchased a new power brick and it didnt fix it but it has worked with it so i know it works.)
my wheel was working great and one day i was playing assetto corsa (which crashes my pc) i get a strange buzz freeze with AC and a few other games. annoying af. but this last time it broke my wheel... i stripped it down to check it out didnt see anything ... put it all back to gether didnt fix anything.... then i switched to another usb and it came on... i was excited. i hopped onto AC again started testing at a track. made two laps then i restarted the session. FFB was gone. i thought that was flippin weird. so i closed the game and reloaded back to the track still no FFB... no settings were wonky or anything... went into controller settings and it said everything was fine and the wheel's position was being tracked accurately. so i shut down my pc and restarted it.... and bam the wheel went back to its flashing power light and no calibration no anything from the wheel... all buttons works shifters work pedals work... no wheel at all tho. ill crack it open and check it out see if i can fix it or break it worse lol. but if anyone has any idea im open to info.
Mine had a small crack...a little super glue and working perfect.
Awe nutts the same problem, now opened my g27, tommorow gonna buy some glue and hope that all works.
Hey ive done this method and unfortunettly after a while it broke the part apart I will try this again but if I don't suceed is it possible to buy the who rotary encoder? or just a steering wheel?
rotary encoder is possible from somewhere, leobodnar.com has it I guess (not sure)
All I have is hust a screw which keeps on untying it self I will try to glue it
Olli Pahkala Thank's a lot
osaatkos sanoa mikä mun g27:ssa on kun täristää oikeelle kääntäessä mutta muuten toimii normaalisti?
If i pluged in my wheel, it rotades to the right and Stop there. Ich fixed the encorder disk with glue and its still not working
Hi man, I'm not sure then what's the problem. Usually fixing the encoder helps on this one, but maybe the motor has broken or something. Sorry I can't help :/
Alrighty, so I've taken my wheel apart and seated the screws as shown, but while I was messing around in there I accidentally turned the optical wheel a bit and I believe that is what is causing my centering to be a bit to the right now, as I have taken it apart and made sure the steering rack is properly centered twice now.
Any tips on how to get that optical wheel to the proper position?
+Henry Steele IV Guys have been talking here about super glue to help with the wheel. I'm not sure tho about how to center it properly.
It actually turns out I had somehow missed that my optical wheel was cracked, overconfidence that the wheel was too new I guess... So if you have this issue, double check your optical wheel!
+Henry Steele IV well said mate!
Thank you for this video :D
Great Vid! I am having a problem with my g27 wheel. It calibrates fine but after using for a minute or so the center point of the wheel moves to the left, up until about 45 degrees off center. I think about getting the brass optical encoder. Do you think that is the issue, or could it be something else? Thanks!
Propably encoder is bad. Brass optical encoder should do it ;)
Olli Pahkala Thanks Olli! Logitech support just got back to me, after a week of waiting. I will try and get a new one through them, if not I think I might just have to open it up and replace the encoder. I will post an update once completed. Thanks again for your input.
Dan Barone No problem mate! I hope you get a new one, always the better option ;D
Hah wishful thinking guess. Since I purchased it through ebay they can not do anything for me, and even talk to the self proclaimed "highest person that I could speak with." Looks like I will be checking the encoder tonight!
HELLO OLLI PAHKALA!!! HOW MUCH OHM DOES THIS G27 POTENTIOMETER IS? PLEASE REPLY SOON!!
Hi mate,
I'm not sure, shouldn't be too much tho since it's quite simple part!
I had the same problem, but my rotary encoder wheel was cracked.
I glued the wheel but afterwards the steering wheel just spin a little, maybe it is beacuse I got glue on the wheel,
Can I buy a new wheel somewhere?
This guy gave information from it here on comments few months back:
Aldo Soeprayogi:
buy a replacement part at cmlaserservice.com
That wheel problem is a nasty one =/ I don't know if Leo Bodnar sells also these kind of things, or simxperience.com.
hey guys, still not fixed my problem, but may i ask what type of glue you guys used?
+JeremyFTW_ I haven't glued it so dunno.
I found my encoder and its in perrfect condiction, all lights work etc but when I plug it in the wheel doesnt start or calibrate it does nothing?
Oliver Green I assume the encoder slides, you need to glue it so it would spin with the axis
+Olli Pahkala i dont understand? Nothing is wrong with the encoder it isnt broke or cracked and it doesnt move its perfect?
Thank You! h=How the heck did those two screws on the optical sensor come loose??? Thanks for showing what was causing my wheel to quit calibrating and finally not being "detected" in iRacing.
Glad to hear it helped mate! :)
Hah I guess the motor rumbles the system quite a bit so the screws eventually untighten themselves.. excellent wheel though nevertheless!
Hey instead of the center of balance on my g27 being turned like yours but mine shifts closer and closer until it cant move right.
what do I do?
And I've taken it apart all the way down and watched your video all the way & tried it but nothing will fix it
William Ulrich you need to be sure that the encoder disc is firmly attached to the axel, if not it slides and center of position moves since encoder is not keeping up with the axel. have u checked that one?
Yeah its not keeping up when I turn it. I think its busted or something
William Ulrich yea. try little glu, but remember to be careful! :)
Hi mate you seem to know what you're talking about so here's my problem. Had a cracked rotary encoder, bought a new one from cm laser service. Fitted it tonight and now the wheel won't fully calibrate, isn't read by the ps3 and gives no force feedback. The pedals, gear shifter and button on the wheel still work but the steering itself does not. Any ideas? the encoder is sitting in the middle of the slot where the old one sat. I put some oil on the shaft as the encoder wouldnt go on but i cleaned it afterwards. I'm stuck. Cheers
Hi Stuart,
Did you clue the encoder to the axis? It slides and doesn't detect the position of the wheel if the encoder keeps spinning.
Hi I didn't glue it but I hat to tap it on with a hammer and socket because it was such a tight fight. It doesn't slide or move at on the shaft.
Ok. And I assume you checked all the cables that they were ok inside the wheel?
Interesting problem. And when the calibration stops at the other end the encoder doesn't keep spinning? I had that problem once.
what if nothing happens at all when you plug it into your pc ... i just but a used g27 set and the pedals are read the shifter is read the buttoms and shifters on the wheel are read but it does not rotate when i plug it in ... and it is not read at all by the pc ... this is the second wheel i got from the same guy ...
Badly broken sadly I guess =(
@@OlliPahkala i actually fixed it up and modded it been using it for 8 years. now ive got another issue i gotta figure out...
I really need some help ASAP i just got my g25 and it got the same problem, the encoder but it only has like some scraches in the middle not full breaks. How can i fix this the best way?
glu or tape I guess. the problem is the same since if there's anything what might loosen up the friction of the encoder, it'll cause the problem
so, i glue'd it back in there but i dont know if i centered the black bar correctly. will it give me the same error or can i almost garantee i need a new encoder?
+JeremyFTW_ not sure man, did u try it already?
no, not yet but ill let you know when i did it :)
Hello guys, I need your help! I was playing Assetto Corsa and while I was racing my force feedback stopped working, no more force in the wheel. Force feedback dead?? :(
aGUi95 Could be. Quarantee?
hii i am from ksa i need the spear parts of g27 wher can faun it any idea!!!
Hi are u still there
Θανασης Μαρουλης:
Most likely yes, if you haven't been able to fix the problem by changing USB- or power adapter ports where you have plugged the wheel.
Mine just slightly goes to the left is this the problem??
Could be. Does it go left while you are driving and more you drive more it goes left? Or is it just calibrating problem?
no it says at the same position
After putting it back together, I can go 900° right - but like only 200° left? Please help @Olli
the calibration or the wheel itself locks inda 200?
+Olli Pahkala the wheel itself.. But only the left side.. Thx for answering
+Kaai Yk NP! Have you reopened the wheel if there's something loose like cables or something?
+Olli Pahkala hey, I just re opened it and the problem was gone... !! :) I think it got stuck somewhere... Still thanks for the help and the fast answers !! Thumps up for the video 👍🏽
+Kaai Yk thanks mate! Glad it helped, have fun racing! ;)
I just got my G27 and everything seemed to work. But in fact everything BUT the steering itself is working. Even the buttons and the shift paddles on the steering wheel... any advice?
what is the problem with steering?
It simply doesn't steer. It's not calibrating either
+mighty.vibe seems like something wrong with the rotary encoder, quarantee left?
+Olli Pahkala my problem is similar. it does everything normally but in time of driving first the ffb started getting strange. some time later it was ok but it was a bit uncentered to left... not alot but it disturbs my driving bcs its uncentered
+HomemX10 Jep, seems like encoder problem there :/
I had the problem 1 after putting glue does that mean I have to buy new because it was cracked
You can buy the encoders somewhere, but not sure where. If one can't find, then I suggest to go for a new one.
Olli Pahkala I found but that I want to be sure is the disc only problem for the first problem because it’s 15$ it is not a lot but if it’s something other which is too expensive
Hehd Hdhd I think the disc is the only problem. When you get a new one make sure u glue it properly so it won't spin around the axis again and you're good to go. :) Keep me posted how it goes
Olli Pahkala ok now i will have to buy one from ebay and change because mine is cracked on 3 places and I don’t think it can be repaired but thank you for tha info because i was thinking to sell it if its something very expensive to repair but when it is only for 15$ I’m keeping it for now😂
Hehd Hdhd it is cheap, it is good! :)
did peter sagan did this video?
Guys i have the second problem... does this video helps?
yes it does
Mitä pitäis tehä ku mulla toimii kaikki muut. Esim kaasu, vaihteet ja muut napit. Mut sit se ei tuota kääntymis juttua tee, eikä halua muutenkaan ottaa kääntämistä. (siis se on iha löysä, että en tarkota sitä, et se ei kääntyis ollenkaa. Vaa niiku ei ota ohjeita vastaa)
Ootsä kokeillut avata ja sitä rattia ja tsekata encoderia? Veikkaan et sillä se selviää
@@OlliPahkala täytyy testaa. Kiitti vinkistä
I don't have that problem but when I turn the wheel like 5 degrees to left left or right there is no force feedback and after that angle of 5 degrees turn the wheel will work perfect with force feedback centring
It's always done this since I bought it second hand but it ETS 2 and such games when you turn a corner and you want the wheel to centre it's self it gets stuck at 5 degrees so the wheel still turns and it's near impossible to set the wheel so it will go just straight... Help
Hi, have you opened the wheel and checked if the encoder is loose?
+Olli Pahkala no I've never took it apart I don't no if a previous owner has done so in the past but I doubt it .... Also if I turn the wheel and the force feedback try's to centre it the wheel clicks and vibrates but it's really loud when it happens I don't now if this is to do with enforcer think ....
+Mr D sounds like it's exactly the encoder whats problem :P
+Olli Pahkala oh gawd .... I don't have the best of look when I take stuff apart ....
+Olli Pahkala nope still the same problem after I opened it but the force feed back feels better after I turn my 5 degrees :)
Hi I have a g27 with a new brass encoder and a new main board the the green light in shifter is always blinking an nothing any ideas of a fix
Have you checked all the connectors and leds if they're OK?
+Olli Pahkala all lights work pedals flappy pads all buttons work
+Olli Pahkala all buttons work clutch brakes accelerator flappy paddles buttons on steering wheel an still green flashing light
+TheChronic1976 Hmm. haven't heard that kind of problem. have u opened the wheel and checked the led lights? there is a board where leds are connected
+Olli Pahkala the board that connects the lights to the wheel has all the light on all the time even when you turn the wheel
Hallo, i have the problems with calibration the stering stays totally left he is out of control Can someone help? Thanks
Hi Nicola,
Just watch this video and fix the problem. That calibration problem indicates typically rotary encoder looseness, so here is video how to fix it =) Holla at me if it doesn't work for you
Can this work with the G920
Josh Temple-Cox hi mate, not sure I haven't opened g920. :)
Thanks man it works fine :) Oh by the way, recently when I press the brake and then release it, it stays pressed in-game for a while, and sometimes it activates in-game without anyone touching it, I think it might be the wire, have you got any tips?
Nice, good that it helped! =)
I think you have either dust in the pedals, or the potentiometers have gathered debris so the recognition surface doesn't detect the right position of pedal.
In my other pedal video, I show how to do basic maintenance to pedals. Only problem is that it's in Finnish, but you get the point how to open pedal box and just remove all dust and stuff what doesn't belong there. If that doesn't help, here's video how to clean potentiometer: How to clean your pedal potentiometers on Logitech G25/G27 (Spiky pedal fix)
I'm reaching out here as a last resort. I hope someone can help...
I bought a G27 a few weeks ago from eBay (no warranty for me!) and encountered the dreaded optical encoder issue after a week of use. I have fitted a brass encoder and secured it with adhesive. The wheel calibrates and works okay, but it still drifts off centre after a few laps...any ideas?
John Nicholl I solved! Practically , the infrared emitter , fired infrared slightly crooked , and not passed completely through the wheel encoder , not coming to the receiver , and by losing calibration .
I noticed , looking at the encoder functioning , through the camera of my Nexus 5 .
The IR should point exactly through the holes in the wheel encoder .
I had to rotate the infrared emitter , with tweezers , about two degrees , now works wonders !
Hope this can help you!
I was going crazy...
NeoEletto24
Thanks for the response, but it sold last night on ebay! I have ordered myself a brand new Thrustmaster TX instead.
My Cover wont come øf! Any tips?
You mean above the rotary encoder or general cover of the wheel?
Rotary encoder cover should come off when you push it to the middle from the both sides and lift at the same time.
what exactly do you tighten?
two little screws next to the encoder to tighten the plate :)
yah i fixed the encoder wheel. it was cracked right down the middle. thanks for the help
+dpt56 Ugh, great to hear! Remember to race hard! ;)
Hey dude, My G27 Wheel when i plug it in nothing happens but everything else works. It just sits there.
Have you opened the wheel and checked the rotary encoder? Other problems can be your A/C plugin (power) or USB, try to change plugs where those two are placed if it fixes the problem.
Yeah, the thing is though is that i'm only 13 so i'm sorta scared to play around with the rotary...
0hMagic I bet you'll do fine, u are younger than me so u should have more stable hands ;D If those plug changes don't work, just be brave and open that wheel. It's not difficult, just follow my steps here and do it like you have all the time in the world! Don't rip up things and stay steady and calm and it is easy as eating donut!
Of course unless you have guarantee, then you can call and get a new one! =)
haha I lost mine :c haha
I have a problem with my wheel, I can't turn it more than perhaps 1-5 degrees in any direction, if I turn it more it gets really slow and instantly steers back to the ~1-5 degree zone. This also happens when in games. There is some exceptions when it does work but is still really hard to turn. I try to change the settings for the wheel but nothing happens. Only time wheel is can be steered freely is when in the properties tab where you can test shift, paddles and wheel and so on. When I turn that window down the wheel instantly feels like bicycle wheel in mud.
Also the wheel doesn't ever light up, except for a few seconds when it's calibrating when I plug it in. When I connect it to my ps3 nothing happens either. It's practically unusable and I have no idea why. Paddles and shift works fine.
PS. I have all the right software and I've reinstalled and so on with no result. I have unplugged it and plugged it back in and tried all my usb entrances.
However no one really seem to have had this problem (except one on some forum who switched to usb 2.0 and made it work). Is there anyone with similar problems or who can relate to my problems? Who have a solution or a tip? Thanks in advance...
Sounds like software issue. Have you tried installing the latest logitech profiler and if it doesn't work, from the CD what you got with the wheel?
I have downloaded software for Win 64 from this website: support.logitech.com/sv_se/product/5184
However it has had a previous owner and no CD was included when I bought it.
Anusgossen U have tried different USB- and power slots?
Yes, tried 4 different USB, on the back and on the front and two different power slots :/ Will bring it back to store today and see if my warranty works
I hope it'll work. Can't say how to fix that kind of problem :P
it worked but for mee i needed to loosen the screws instead of thighting them
I completed this, and my g27 responds.... but will not calibrate or work still. :'-( please help
+Timothy Dennis What else have you tried? Does the encoder spin with the axis when you turn the wheel or not?
The encoder spibs fine. Everything looks okay. It still will not read the wheel, every button and all other axis works
+Timothy Dennis u checked every connection? could be circuitboard problem
I can't unplug the thing at 20:00. It was brand new when i bought it and i haven't been in there fiddling...
+VolvoCrafter It's pretty tight, you need to be gentle but use a bit of brutal force.. :P
+Olli Pahkala Eventually i got it :P I was just very mad at the time and had to post a comment, haha! Anyways, very good, detailed and helpful video!
***** ok great stuff it worked out for u, glad i could help!:)
niin mitenköhän sen rotaattorin poksin pitäisi lähteä pois
painat sivuilta ja nostat :)
Olli Pahkala juu mä sain sen pois mutta en ehjänä
+Roope Lylyoja däng:/ no onneks sil boxil ei ole suurta roolia muutako estää pölyn/vast menemisen encoderiin!
5 mins in to the video he finally gets the wheel of !!
how often do you have to fix your g27
+John -117 I have had Fanatec for two and half years now so.. But fixed G27 only once when I had it
I fix my g27 too by the way thanks for the video. Anyways fix it but if you use force feedback on iracing it won't last long as you I desided to go with fanatec also. Exited to try their badass products.
+John -117 the products are awesome! fanatec is my sponsor nowadays aswell, I'm using csp v3 and csw v2 now! I recommend those with formula rim!:)
Thanks for the advice but I got as you say the CPA 3 also got the shifter V as for the wheel I got the RGTX the budget wasn't so big so I desided for a wheel that can be use on ovals as on roads.
John -117 Yea good decision I think! =)
How to fix on wheel buttons
Not sure Alberto, I think if you open the wheel like I do at the start of the video you can check the buttons and are the switches positioned wrong or something.
How i can remove the black box ? :(
Do you mean the black box above encoder or whole shield of wheel?
Olli Pahkala I can not figure out how to remove the black box holding the rotary encoder. Everyone seems to come right off and mine is tight.
Jacob Dubin It should come off by itself, try to use a bit more force with your fingers!
Jacob Dubin Use flathead screwdriver
Thanks its work!
hello friend. my g27 had the same problem. i fixed the sensor, but now when i turn it on, it do not calibrate, only made half turns and do not calibrate, you know what is this, thanks man, nice video.
Hello and thanks mate! I think you have to open the wheel again and see is there something loose again. Or other thing is to try change USB-ports and AC-plugs, if there's problem in there.
Its almost like they profit from it being impossible to reach the fucking screws...
True that!
Siis ku mul ei tuo kone tunnista ku pyörittää rattia nii nothing happend nii mite ton siis korjaa menk vähä yli hilseen
What do fanatec they do
+TheChronic1976 www.fanatec.de high-end Sim racing hardware! Wheels, pedals, shifters, rigs, pretty much everything! =)
+Olli Pahkala just checked out fanatec looks like im going to need a loan from bill gates for pedals wheel / wheel base/shifter /E brake they have great stuff
Haha :D yea I saved for these quite a few months, totally worth it!
VERY nice instruction video! But regarding 20:30 the motor cover, it just doesn't come off here, but seems to be sealed :-(
Edit : No, fixed! with th use of a flat screwdriver :-)
My problem is exact as described in 00:25, and just happened this day out of nowhere.
All buttons are OK. Was just about to order a G923 but think I will fight a bit more to get my G27 up and running again, since I simply love it.
hatte das Probleme die Tage auch.....allerdings war weder was gebrochen noch war was locker.......es befand sich " STAUB " auf dieser Scheibe so das die Infrarot Strahlen blockiert waren.....sprich ich werd Pauschal 1x im halben Jahr sauber machen :-)
Mitä mun pitäis korjata kun mulla on se ratti on pikkuisen sivutain asenossa kun ajaa suoraan?miten toi korjataan!!
sieltä kun avaa tän videon ohjeiden mukaisesti rattia ja sit kiristää sitä rotary encoderia niin pitäisi korjaantua!:)
Tom go for the quarantee!
thanks man
Update: It worked then it crapped on me again. Hey…it worked but then again I decided to buy another g27 for $110 used one on fb marketplace.
