scanmaster repair?
« 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?

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

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   :)
