    The battery maintains the data in memory. It is RAM not Flash memory so needs to have power maintained.

    I just sent mine off to Moates for a new battery.
    It would not allow me to flash calz only or read the .tun from it nor would the car start.
    Only a full calz & OS flash would get it to work and only for a minute, after that I had to full flash again.

    Hopefully it's only the battery.

    Phew, I have just been all through this after my hard drive crashed, and had huge dramas getting it to work again.
    I did everything as explained in this thread, but still coukdnt get my usb to show up in Ports in Device mananger, so I tried what NODIH suggested, because I could see and hear ding dong when inserting rr usb that it was showing in usb controllers, so I manually changed it as suggested, but still no good, however, there is one more tiny detail, and that is when you go to properties for the usb serial convertor, and select advanced, there is a little box you need to check called load vcp. Now when you reopen the Device Manager, it shows up in Ports and you can then change the Latency Timer to 1, and then continue with the next steps as described here in the previous posts.
    Thanks again to all those that contributed
    I hope my little bit helps others as well.

    There is actually a reliable way to get the RoadRunner working as a Native USB Device. I'll write a knowledgebase article in the next while to detail it (it's in a forum post here somewhere. Basically it has to do with the fact that Moates didn't set a custom hardware ID so when you connect the device to your PC it goes away to Windows Update and gets the latest driver, trying to be helpful. You have to use the same driver as the FlashScan devices for it to work properly, but you never et the chance during th driver install to do that. But you can still do it manually.

    Cool, looking forward to it. It is surprising that the FTDI drivers are not standard in Windows.... But without the ID set, that would pose windows to do what it thinks is best....

    Andrew, please post a link here to the KB when written.
