HELP! ecu corrupted?

Post by matnrach2 »

Hi

I have just acquired a new laptop with bluetooth and tried connecting with my wireless rs-232 adapter (successfully used with shadow dash) . I had difficulty connecting to the laptop and eventually gave up. It did initially connect but flashed connected/not connected.
I have now tried to reconnect to my old Dell with the RS232 cable and it does not connect (COM1 is set to 9600 in device manager). It gives a message as shown in the attachment.
Now the engine will not even start when you remove the cable.
(HiRes code)
What on earth has happened ?
Please help -


update
Just loaded the latest Tuner studio on my old laptop and it appears to do the same thing as when I first connected my new computer - tries to search for com ports and then hangs up all the time

Did this cause the problem?

Many thanks

Try reloading firmware using the boot jumper and loading your last known good tune file.

Mat
Yes I have done this and it worked
Phil said that it is likely to be a bluetooth compatibility issue with MS1 and TS3
