Mine is working flawlessly since 2006. Maybe you should contact Natural Point regarding that issue.

Maybe they know about a manufacturing or QM problem and acknowledge it. Maybe you could get a cheap replacement or a discount from them. Firing off an email takes just a little time and no money.

I think you're in the EU - do you know that by consumer rights you have 24 months of warranty? Contact your dealer about it. Oh wait, you opened it up ... so that road is closed.

I would recommend to buy another TrackIR.

I have a freetrack setup but tried an old Trackir 3, if you have the money go for another trackir. Freetrack is good but trackir is on another level.

S!

Also make sure to check in TIR software -> Camera -> light filter threshold setting is not at maximum(slider all the way to right). Then it does not see anything. I have mine at around 140 or so and it is a quite good setting.

Ermm, for 150 euros you could buy a trackIR and it would be all ready to go...

Before buying a new TrackIR unit, make sure to read this: TrackIR Anticompetition.
You may care or you may not, still it's good thing to know who are you dealing with.

Great a website that singles out Naturalpoint for doing things that pretty much every major company does... and your point is!

Personally I have tried freetrack, freetracknoir and both I found inferior to Trackir.
