They work ok but rework is a must

Thank you for the fast reply, i was going to topic posts and i have found a list of all parts that need to be replaced. Is it worth buying a bit pricier unit like from obd2cardools or is ti pretty much not worth it and go just with aliexpress or ebay ?

If you dont want problem with you tool the best is change card ASAP (a soon as possible).

Is 2 ways..

1. You can do self using winhex
2. You can contact with me on PM (i can do via team Viewier)
3. You can contact with someone (contact on PM) you just give him CID number from new card they build for you image 121mb (cost €30)

Is more stable. Chinese have poor quality elements, specially capacitors, voltage stabilizators and crappy micro sd card which from unknown reason can be data corrupted and sometimes is fitted wrong transistors, swapped cables in tricore cable..
So reworking pcb made you sure more stable unit just to you not been souprised in importent moment why doesnt or stop work.
