Hi all. Been running a VCM clone for 3 years trouble free. Plugged it into a transit today which was overcharging and lost comms. VCM will now not boot up properly. 5 LED Lights come on, streak across screen as normal and then stick with one red and green on. It never goes to green and amber as normal. VCM not found.
Anyone repaired one of these? Can anyone say what part of the boot sequence it is failing on (red light and green light flash three times if left). I know you take you chance with clones but I've never had a issue with it yet and don't want to bin it without trying a fix.

Any operation desciptions / internal pics would be a help. Thanks...
