v2.2 pcb; did work just fine then nothing;

[Ihone]

I was getting everything connected in my car and had all the signals I needed with the exception of the CPS, so no fire as of yet or injector functionality (as expected).

For some reason - it just died on me. No comms, no lights, no .. nothing.

So - I pulled out the ol' Megamanual and looked at the troubleshooting steps for checking 232 comms (good to pins 12-13 on the 40-pin socket btw). Echoes just fine so it's not the 232. but with the processor in place - it's not giving a clock countback, it's not showing any activity and the U5 transistor is getting blazingly hot just on short power-up (within seconds it's much too hot to the touch).

Any ideas folks? I'd like to try to get this resolved by this weekend if it's not too late.

Regards,
Justin

Check if you have 5V on VREF with and without the CPU in place. If you have 5V with the CPU removed but it drops to 2 volts or less with the CPU in place, replace the CPU.

4.97 volts either way Matt.

BTW - I don't know if you remember me or not - Justin Sibit. Probetalk.com forums member that put the boosted KLZE into a PRotege5 wagon.

OK - here's something else.

In TS, with the cpu in place, I've got the mini terminal up and listening - it's flooding the screen with the following message:

--- BREAK RECEIVED ---
--- BREAK RECEIVED ---
--- BREAK RECEIVED ---
--- BREAK RECEIVED ---
--- BREAK RECEIVED ---

This goes on into infinum.....

Can you try reloading the firmware? If you get an error message, post a screen shot.
