    Tre-Cool, you'll have to send that one back to NZ for repair, I don't have all the parts here in Aus to fix that.
    If you want to do that contact support via here - http://support.efilive.com/

    yeah i will do. im not in any hurry. like i said it still works fine.

    the only issuie i have is with the cable that plugs into the unit. if i move it a certain way it reboots. ive remade the cable plug a few times thinking it was a loose pin. but last night i noticed one of the pins (in the cat plug) was not sticking all the way up. so i rebent it up.

    if it has fixed my problem i'll leave it as is.

    I have USB plugs and the OBD-II connector as spares, anything else is back to NZ.

    just thought i'd update this thread, it seems the part that is no longer functioning is the analog side of things.

    found this out the other day when trying to log on my brothers car. been swapping between another v2 i have for logging and this one for changes. lol

    time to fix it i think..

    The part that's missing is a tantalum filter capacitor. It very occasionally burns and takes the two diodes next to it. Just like it did in your case. When I was in charge of support in the USA, that problem was always fixed under warranty as I was supplied higher voltage capacitors to replace the blown one with.

    I can see quite a number of damaged parts on that PCB. Apart from the damage in the bottom left corner, there's a popped chip just to the right of the CPU as well, then the bottom right corner, things aren't looking too good there either.

    Cheers,

    The one to the right of the CPU is the op-amp on the analog inputs, they often pop if you put the 2 pin orange connector on one pin off with the power on.
