I have enclosed a photo of a Snap On Web page below in the event the link to it no longer works or the web page is taken down. It might work for some but sure it won't be the Silver Bullet fix for everyone , but worth a shot.

The system restore will only work if the CF card is good and the software/files on it are also good and not corrupted. This where handing the CF card to the SO rep would come in handy since he or she will rewrite all the software/files on the CF card.

That's if you can find a good one who's not a Corporate Boot Licker and saves older software versions to help his customers out

Yes, This does not make business sense for any rep to keep older software since this and other platforms are no longer supported/serviced at this point.

I called Snap on and offered to buy last update for original Solus. They just told me they discontinued the software for that model. I asked if I can buy the last issued update card, they simply said NO. I don't understand that business model.

Personally, I think their ' logic ' is that we will rush out to buy the newest version as we desperately need this and not food, clothes or somewhere to live 😱😱
