Limitless cable for the loss
Well just got my cable in the mail yesterday. I was doing some pulls on my way home while logging. Pulled over in the rest stop to make some changes. In the middle of the reflash it malfunctioned. I tried again a number of times. So I decided to pop the top off the head of the cable. When I looked inside, I found that 2 of the wires had broken loose from their soldiers. So now I am stuck at the rest stop with a dead car.

I have been trying to solder it. Everytime I fix one another breaks. They used some 26 gauge or thinner wire. You move them a little and they just snap. SO not I am screwed. It seems no one in my area has one I can use. So I may have to pay about 250 to 300 to get it towed home.

sorry to hear, the wires I normally use are soldered quite firm, they would only come apart if the top of the plug is pulled open. I will check each one more thoroughly during testing. Did you try disconnecting the battery? it will reset the ecu out of reflash mode. A partial ecu rom upload if you are changing just a few values in a table should not effect the ability of the ecu to start. if it was two wires undone, you can hold it with two hands whilst pressing the space bar with your elbow. Or take it to the local TV repair shop and ask for a repair, so you can reflash it. log a support call on the website, and you can send it back for a full refund.

Even with the car on a charger I would get no response errors sometimes until I drove for ~5 minutes. Unfortunately I don't think that helps you, but fortunately I don't think its possible to brick your ECU in the manner you have described.
