FVDI 2018 pcb pictures vs. 2014 pcb

[yellowstilo]

Hello, here are some pictures of the new FVDI 2018 pcb with new pcb layout and integrated softdog parts (near red/black battery wires)
it also has a new SOB#214 chip near the 1050 CAN transceiver (for switching different termination resistors ??) instead of the old ADG1204YRUZ and a MAXQ1850 for the softdog.
this is the cloned version of FVDIOBD, i have some troubles connecting to the CAN bus (often no connection or time-out problem with long readings - who knows which parts are specific for the CAN communication besides the 1050 CAN transceiver ?

pictures 1 , 3 and 4 are from the new FVDI2018 (pcb STICFVDIV1) and pictures 2 and 5 are from the old FVDI2014 (flyavdiV3.pcb )

Hi,

CAN-BUS IC's are the following parts: U13:ADG1406BRUZ, U10 & U11 ADG1404YRUZ, U8 : TJA1050A and U12 : AU5790D single wire CAN-BUS.
Pls replace these parts and your fvdi working again.

Regards, G

hi are you sure thanks

FVDIOBD now sells original FVDI 2018 with new v3 software/loader - they still claim it can't be locked..... i installed their FVDI2018 (clone ??) with the new v3 software/loader , it connects to the Fly server , shows the remaining days (very short) , then it connects with the tool which says 0 days remaining for the newer software versions but it connects ok.....
time will tell if they are right.....

Hello Gopelhu , i changed all mentioned parts + 2 mosfet relays K7 + K11 for obd line 6 + 14 but i'm still struggling with the canbus connection of my FVDI2018 - in most cases i can't connect directly with Fiat V5.1 or v5.7 , but when i first open Renault v5.2 , then close it and then reconnect to Fiat v5.1 or v5.7 is does connect ok in most cases....
i'm not sure if this is hardware- or software related, any ideas ?
thank you for your great contribution regarding AVDI/FVDI research....

well i did some more testing regarding the Fiat canbus connection problems and i think it is not the starting and closing of the Renault software first which triggers the Fiat can bus communication to work but it seems it is the extra time used for opening and closing the Renault software which makes the difference ……
i just tried several times taking much more time to start up my laptop (Dell D630 with XP) - let it settle, startup FVDI software, connect to server, choose Fiat v5.7 , take more time to let the laptop handle everything in the background and with some extra patience the FVDI2018 connects directly to the Fiat canbus…..
I wish i knew this before i exchanged all parts on the pcb but i'm glad i have pinpointed the cause of the non-working canbus connection….
it might help others with the same problems….

I think is a Software problem that you have or some driver !
try windows 7 ultimate !
I only have Fly FVDI a some time , but I have some trouble at first because the drivers !

hello friend, please be careful, I bought the same machine fvdi2018 in version v.2 and updated to v.3 was blocked.
please if you are so kind could you send me a dump.bin reading to be able to relive my fvdi2018?
me to read the chip lpc1788 use flashit_nxp.

thanks to the information published by elmacht, to load your lpc1788.bin and the LED lights turn on and the drivers are installed, but my software fvdi2018 gives calibration error and error 5
I'm sure yellowstilo that with your reading lpc1788.bin help me to relive this paperweight.
thanks
