VKB T Rudder MK IV isn't working (no axis response at all)

Good evening to everybody,

I just received my T Rudder, and guess what... It doesn't want to work ! :'(
So here is the story:

I'm planning to play on DCS world, so I've plugged the rudder, downloaded the software and then I checked on windows external device if the rudder was working, I saw the 2 buttons and 3 axis as it is set up during factory.
But while pressing the pedals, no axis were moving, same in DCS in the axis calibration I see nothing moving in the curves (X,y,z, RZ,.... nothing).


Soo I tried to find the problem, and I made a small tiny, really tiny (annoying) mistake, I clicked on the bootloader button and now on my black box there is only the blue light showing off, the yellow one for the "pedal" is not switching on anymore :/

I think I have broken those pedals :'(

Please can someone help meeee, don't tell me I just f***ed up 250 € :'(


(I'm french by the way, if it's easier for further explanations)

You must add a line to the Zconfig.ini section [User] User=Developer, a new button will appear in the Default interface. Pressing the controller will be reset to factory defaults. See here viewtopic.php?f=25&t=2440#p24065
Looking сonfigurator screenshots, bookmarks Global and Profile.

If you connect to gladiator you see no axis.
In the game or simulator you will see it under VKB gladiator...
