Does it show FlashScan V2 under USB devices? If not, try another USB port. Update the drivers (Windows) or the firmware (EFILive software)? Open V8 S&T, then click the V2 logo that pops up near the clock on your screen and update the bootblock first, then the firmware.

yes it show the flashscan under serial bus controller.now not trying to sound dumb but im not up to date with the technology lingo...explain it to me a little easier please!
Well that means it is connected to your PC and the driver was properly installed, have you been able to read your PCM/ECM out from your vehicle now using V7 Tune tool and pressing the green arrow? When logging in V7 scan tool, did you select the proper PCM/ECM when you pressed the green button?

yes i can read and update my truck using the v2 but i have to keep ung.plugging the usb and plugging it back in to make it work.
Do you need to reconnect because it is disconnecting? Do you see the device disappear and then reappear in Device Manager? I'm not getting a complete picture from your posts so am having to try and read between the lines :(
Did you try Blacky's changing/checking the cable type in the Scan Tool?

i am doing this because it is not getting power from the usb.it will not power up the v2.
If you have tried different USB ports, cables and perhaps a different computer and it won't boot (after drivers are loaded) then it probable that the FlashScan V2 has a fault. Can you confirm you have tried a different USB port, cable and computer?

Also, dont plug the V2 into anything but an actual USB header on the motherboard. IE, dont plug it into a USB hub.

Just to clarify, a USB hub is ok to use but only if it is a self powered hub. i.e. only if the hub has its own power supply that you connect to a wall socket.Originally Posted by ScarabEpic22
FlashScan will not work with a USB hub that is powered via the USB connection to the computer.

Before asking for help, please read this.
Ah ok, I just make it simple and plug it straight into either my laptop or desktop PC to eliminate that possibility!
