Black Box shuts down with Stick plug-in

My black box starts up fine with the pedals plugged in, but when I plug in the stick, the lights go out on the box. When I have both plugged in, the box does not light up. I have tried 2 black boxes.
Any ideas?

The Black Box should be flashed according with the grip connected. If there is a grip AND rudders, then the Black Box should still be flashed with the grip's firmware. If there's only rudders connected, then the Black Box should be flashed with rudders' firmware.

The box has worked for quite some time with the joystick and rudder. Lights are out now until I disconnect the joystick. Once I plug back in, the lights go out.

Then provide some screenshots from VKBDevCfg please. What grip do you have?

1. I cannot find a file named VKBdevicecfg. except for the original zip file.
2. I have a WWII grip and the curved extension. When I umplug the grip, it does the same. When I unplug the first board from the plug-in, the black box lights up.
3. The stick and rudder has worked for a year or so, then one day the black box lights went out.

How do I purchase the 2 boards on my gunfighter? Problem lies there.

Please
download VKBDevCfg, unzip it in a dedicated folder and run it as Admin. Post 2 screenshots with it: 1 with only the rudders plugged into the Black Box and the other with both the rudders and base+stick.
If you already opened up the base please post some pictures with the internals too.

That is, when the firmware for the pedals is uploaded, you connect the GF base and the BB turns off?
