Fanatec Shifter Issue

Hi,
I had the usual issue of the shifter not selecting the correct gears, had Fanatec take it back and fix it. Today I went to switch to H pattern and nothing works, seems to think it is still in Sequential mode.
When I hit the combo to calibrate nothing happens on the wheel, I just get the setup menu, so this suggests it's not even telling the wheel it's in the right mode.
Its plugged into Shifter1
I have opening it and everything looks to be connected still, the slider plate at the bottom hits the little selector to let it know which mode it's in.
I tried updating the firmware to the latest, plugged into Shifter2, etc. The setup page on the PC has the H pattern cal button greyed out.
I am running the following:
CSL Elite 1.1, CSP V3s, BMW GT3 Wheel.
Really starting to get over this shifter, for the price it should be a lot better, anyone have any ideas on how to get this thing going or is off to Fanatec again....

Yes seems shifter is unfinished product.
I had (maby still have, it was lottery again) problems with shifter, here is thread about it:
Not Your problem however.
Tried launch H-shifter calibration from WIndows gamecontroller panel?
One or both of the red and black wires that are soldered to the microswitch will have lost connection. Either poor solder joint or completely came loose.
I ended up sending mine back, I did try the fixes above but it all looked ok inside. Sent to Fanatec and they were able to fix it up and it's been great since.
