forddieseldoctor Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I think we managed to kill our VDR. When we plug it into either the car data link or the power adapter all that happens is the green light on the wand comes on and the lcd number display stays dark. My laptop chimes when I plug on the vdr to the usb port, but the IDS will never recognize the unit. Does anyone know where I can find a book for it or have any knowledge of anyway to bring it back around? I really would like to have it instead of loosing a VCMII for a week while the customer drives their vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordracer Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 They have batteries in them that can go bad. The one's I've fixed that had a battery issue the battery had good voltage so I cleaned the battery and contacts and that fixes them sometimes.

8WA Sman Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Just in case you didn't already know, pencil eraser does wonders on cleaning up contacts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forddieseldoctor Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 So what does the battery do? Is it like a bios battery in a computer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
