Re: Speedo NOT working...ZERO
That's worrying Alasdair as it was definitely working just before the car it came from was broken...
I've got another one from a TCT Activa if that will help...

Hi Jim
The "old" one is however working....not sure whats going on....cannot think yours is busted.
Is there any easy way to test it ? eg give it some juice somewhere ?

You should be able to connect to 12V and a speed sensor to test it. You can spin the sensor with an electric drill.

Re: Speedo NOT working...ZERO
Look on the plus side...last time I did something like that it was changing the BIOS battery on a Toshiba T3100SX luggable...
A task which pretty much involved dismantling the machine to its component parts, in a very specific order and involving several million screws.
Did I not forget to plug the blasted thing into the motherboard before rebuilding the machine? If it wasn't such a heavy lump I suspect it might have gone airborne at that point!
...think it was about 2 in the morning when I finished the second rebuild and had a machine which no longer thought it was 1980 every time you booted it.
