Default Re: Tech 1 error – unit or cable bad?

When I performed a self-test on the Tech 1, it passed every test except [f7] which produced “High Speed Diff. Serial Data Test Fault.”

Does anyone know if it’s possible that just the cable (Tech 1 to ALDL) is bad, or is it likely the Tech 1 itself is bad.

Of course, I will “return” it if it can’t be fixed. But, if I can find a cable, I might try that too.

Thanks

Return it for refund. file claim with paypal.
Wait for another unit to turn up. these units cost 4K new
