I have two Acorn CNC’s

Both have MPG’s.

One does not work on either system. One works on both!

Tried changing ports, rebooted on both systems! Functions exactly the same on both.

Tested with other USB devices and USB function correctly!

I’m thinking the Antenna or USB connector is bad?

Or the Systems are to close together and they are conflicting?

Can one purchase a new Antenna?

Final Results and Outcome

I sent the Pendant in for repair. Centroid is unable to repair and has no idea why it stopped functioning.

Not very old to quit working but I guess it being used every day?

Just my luck! Out of warranty!

Good reason to get the new WMPG6... :D

I use my two also every day, no problems in two years.

jerry the one in the photo is pretty old. we started putting on the C logo on the mpg wheel many years ago. 5?
the one in your photo has the original xhc logo on it so that tells me its old.
there is a one year warranty on the WMPG
