Hey guys,
I just traded my A9L puter for an A9P Im going auto with this car and At 1st I thought the A9L was better didnt realize I couldnt use it for an auto car, Anyhoo when I got the computer the box was pretty rough and the computer was hanging halfway out ,there was also something rattling in the case so I opened it , It was a resistor or something that fell out ,Plus The case was crushed It really looks like someone took a hammer to it . Theres a pin broken and where that pin goes into the circuit board on the inside a piece or board is broken and a couple pins are bent on the outside where it plugs into the harness. Can it be fixed or am I at a total loss? I had a friend look at it who works on computers and a friend at an auto electric shop? And they both pretty much said its junk now I dont care about letting go the A9L The guy was nice and I cant use it anyway he needed it More then me, I needed the A9P, Just not a broken one. Should I just say "forgettaboutit" and go with a FAST ecu or try to get a stock replacement from like autozone even though they are like $250 or try to ask around to make sure it cant be fixed?:crapola::damnit:

NO COBRA ECUs! More trouble than it's worth.

As for theone you have now? It's toast. Keep looking through Ebay till you find your A9P.

amnit: I figured it was toast but wasnt sure ,If there was a ray of hope somewhere ,But I guess not oh well .Thanx Daggar I had an X3Z but I sold it a while ago..better off with a non broken A9P and a Tweecer RT then an X3Z.
Well I let the guy Know about it but I said dont worry because I assumed it could be fixed so what should I do Now? I dont really wanna go back on my word.
