Hey, yesterday I received my CAR 100. Of course I played with it. No problems what so ever. This morning I want to play again and guess what... Totally lost the ability to steer!! Only forwards and reverse!

Anyone had this problem before? Iīve already did a reset no succes. Please help, otherwise I have to send it back to #$% England and have no CAR for two weeks.

Thanks, btw I did some searching...

Lucky it was a late birthday present, so I didnīt payed myself. But I bought is from expansys.com for €81. Just before the price drop

I looked at the support page. I need to take out some ījumperī, so I did. This means a full reset of the car and apparently the battery. So just connect it to my phone, emtpy battery. So now I have to wait until I get home. Keep you informed.

or do you you have a friend with a t610 or t68i? try it with one of those. if it still doesn't work, it's the car for sure. but if it does it might be your phone!

try it with the gameboard (if you have one). could be an issue with the keys.

Well that's it for me. No succes in steering the car. Not even with another T610. So the problem is really in the car. I'm gonna send it back to Expansys tomorrow. And hopefully the feel the same about the problem being the car it self and send me a new one! Thanks everybody!
