    Default Tecnotest 4130 REFLEX

    I have a Tecnotest Reflex that I only use for a few vehicles that are not covered with my other tools, it has just timed out as a year has gone by since I last paid for the license.

    I really dont use this enough to be worth paying ?450 a year, can anyone help me with activation so that I dont have to keep paying out for something I dont use very often?

    This can be a number of things. RTC is Real Time Clock I believe.

    First try to set the time, if you are anle to get to the settings screen.

    If not remove the battery for an hour and it should default to the default date.

    Failing that it may need the attention of someone that can repair the bios

    The RTC real time clock contains also some extra bytes with critical information for the system. If this become corrupt , your system cannot be used anymore. The RTC is a dallas circuit with a lithium battery. When that battery is empty the tester become useless. I try to find a sollution for read, write the RTC but Ive failed.

    I have Reflex 4130 from a friend of mine...and same problem RTC corrupted... I have replaced RTC battery, same happens. Crystal 32.768Khz is ok (K0S6E), Maxim DS1302S is Trickle-Charge Timekeeping Chip, I currently haven't to change...but I think is good. I presume problem was into backup battery, was empty and maxim send via I2C message to CPU about clock problem (possible CPU has protection regarding real time to keep time for update).
    But bad news is that CPU has changed a couple bytes somewhere (into BIOS??)
    Is anybody knows where and how to fix this problem??

    regards,

    cuby
