Title: scanmaster repair?
Post by: john robertson on April 23 2018, 07:24:41 PM

I bought an 86 T-type and a scanmaster came with it. When going through the values, it suddenly goes to 8s across the screen, like this: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8. and stays that way until I shut off the key and restart the car. Pushing the buttons has no effect. Anyone know how to fix this, or what vendor repairs these?

Open the case and see if it has a socket for the main IC- reseat that IC.
A failed solder joint is next most likely but for that-
...Then send it to Bob   :)
