Disconnect the twist adapter from the joystick and seat it on the base. Is the base still turning off/not showing up?

With the twist adapter out of the joystick and connected to the MK3 base, windows recognizes the base and so does the VKB software.

So the adapter is good, no shorts. Check again the grip in the NXT, still works?

Only one thing to try and I'm out :) Put only the connector on the base with no grip attached and move the wires around, does the base turn off at any time?
If it doesn't let's wait for Ron, see if he has any feedback; meanwhile I'll ask the chief engineer to have a look too.

No problem and thanks for helping me trouble shoot this. I just tried that and the base stayed connected the entire time.

Happy to hear it! Please accept my apologies for having to get through this; the wiring was wrong, but sending such detailed pics and your patience helped a lot.
