(Solved) T598 stopped work

[Helskov]

(Solved)
Put the wheel in Playstation Mode 1.
The wheel will be recognized as a T300

My T598 stopped working. Tried everything and cant get it to work anymore. I have an idea its after last firmware update where TM released the LC upgrade kit. Other out there with same issue?
All input works but no FFB.

Guess nobody with a T598 could chime in. I don't have one myself, but I can maybe go through some basic debugging steps.

First and foremost, what does sudo dmesg -w print out when you plug your wheel in?

Holy shit, I got it working! Put it into Blue Mode ('PlayStation Mode 1'). The wheel will be recognized as a T300
