Clubsport DD + won't turn on

Hello. I changed the calibration using my PC with the on/off button red. I pressed the button to change it green. It changed for a few seconds then turned off. Now. the base won't turn on. The PC driver doesn't read anything. The McLaren GT3 wheel's white Fanatec symbol appears, but It won't toggle out.
I've tried different outlets, plugging and unplugging everything, removing the wheel, and removing and uploading the driver. The base won't hard re-set since it doesn't turn on. The power cube is green.
I'll create a ticket, but Fanatec surely won't answer quickly. It was fantastic, while it worked. Any help is appreciated.

Ticket created with video. Hopefully, someone responds.
Could be CS DD. More likely CSL DD Pro
Same problem here.

Thanks all.
Same here!
sent to fanatec today. I hope the new base works fine. If not, this will be my last Fanatec product and I'll sell my fanatec equipment.
Gokhan I agree. If I ever get my RMA number, I will send it back and hope the new or repaired base works. I wish I would have read these threads before buying.....
Bei mir jetzt das gleiche Problem. Allerdings erst nachdem mein DD+ schon zur Reparatur war. Ja so schnell und ja ein DD+
Es wurde mir schon defekt geliefert, mit einem unerträglichen piepen oder pfeifen - es klang wie ein altes Modem.
Bei der 1. RMA Anmeldung ging es echt schnell dass ich eine Antwort hatte und innerhalb einer Woche war es wieder bei mir.
Jetzt warte ich bereits seit 2 Wochen dass der Schrott endlich eingeschickt werden kann. Man hat zwar schon auf meine E-Mail geantwortet aber mit unnötigen Fragen und Hinweisen ich solle den bootloader Modus nutzen..blablabla!
Das ist reine Hinhaltetaktik
The Driver 455 has a critical bootloader bug when the firmware is installed on Clubsport DD!
Do not turn off your CS DD Base after turning on the base and during booting! Some people has push the power on button again to switch to xbox mode, but the base is turned off. After this, the base is bricked and power on dont works! What ever you do, nothing helps, the base is dead! is also not recognized by windows. Power Led is off forever.
I've read all the posts and problems with Power On and everything points to this. with a few exceptions.
can FANATEC ask for ALL the CS DD to return, and admit it's broken ? it would be honnest

Looks like the price increased.... So we have a $999 paper weight. I'll ship it back at my cost. I just want a RMA number.
Wie? Niemand hat bis jetzt die DD+ wheelbase.
Du meinst doch sicher die Clubsport DD (die 12nm) base, Oder?
Klär mich/uns bitte auf .
Danke
Where does the price increased to 999€
Site says still 799€
only the DD+ is at 999€ but that from the beginning on🤷🏻♂️
Yeah, I forgot to add the +.
I must not have accepted the terms and conditions for my first RMA attempt. For the second attempt, I did and received an immediate acknowlement return email. A week later, Fanatec responded with a RMA and return process. I will try and mail the DD+ back tomorrow.
Did anyone figure out a fix for this or is the only solution an RMA?
I just tried to fire up my CS DD after not racing in a while to find it won't turn on. No light on the base power button, but power to the wheel, and the PC not recognizing anything connected, suggesting I've hit the same problem.
