    Solus Software Replacement

    Hi I'm new to this forum and Solus.
    I just bought a Solus model EESC310A off ebay and it came with no software.
    Snap-On no longer supports this model so how do I get software for this unit?
    I don't see Solus software listed anywhere on ebay. Did I just buy a brick?http://productforum.autorepairdata.c...lies/frown.gif
    Thanx,
    Roger

      From what I read, The original Solus will no longer be supported by "New Updates" and once the existing parts inventory for it is exhausted they will no longer be able to repair them . If it's not on an ancient Hot list , I think you could still send it in for a diagnostic and a reinstall of the old software for a reasonable amount. Thought someone recently sent in a Solus Pro for repairs that used to have 8.4 and it came back from repair looking like new with 11.2.

        I've already contacted Snap-On and they no longer have software or make repairs to this particular model.
        I could try to return it but I'm sure how much luck I'll have with that.
        But I'd like to really keep it and use it if it can find software at a reasonable price.

          I would immediately contact seller and get your money back if your man on the truck cannot at least perform a Device recovery and at least get the old original software version back up working again. You would think Snappy Dealer with Scan Bay on truck could at least offer a diagnostic to sell something like Solus Legacy 15.2 for a few more years to come for working units or offer a thousand dollar discount trading in.
