Alright guys I know snap-on themselves arent interested in helping us with their diagnostic tools but Im hoping we can help each other ..
Yesterday I powered on my Modis and like normal it came on everything worked ,I got to live data on a 2008 corvette and all the numbers were far outta wack..I powered down the system and powered it back on then I got a security error contact rep..thought it was a glitch since these things are designed with first gen nintendo style cartridges I removed the scope and obd card parts tried to power it on and now it just "Post" beeps
things Ive tried are powering it up without the cf card in it
resetting the cmos
replacing the cmos battery
powering it with the fan unplugged
Powering it with the battery out
Nothing, it still just beeps...I was told that since march snap-on will no longer be servicing the pre 2006 models nor can a franchisee do a recovery on the truck for it so essentially if we have issues just to buy another Modis...Idk about you guys but I use this tool daily as its the foundation for most diagnostic operations in my shop ...for snap-on to just say your beat is unbelievable and angering to me for the cost we put out on these tools ...and with no more support to not even give a field serviceable manual makes my blood boil
Do I say screw it and buy a maxidas and unload the other 90k in snap-on tools or is there a secret fix here im missing ...this is a pre 2006 model and it does run on windows but I can no longer get the specifics off it past that.
