    So i went to spread the polish around on 3, and it barely started moving. So i bumped the speed up and pc started going to speed. When i finished the panel i checked out the machine and it would have trouble starting on any speed under 3. So i went and checked the manual, tried to turn the machine on again and nothing. It`s dead. Anyone have this happen before?

    Yeah im curious to know how much it was used and for how many years.



    I know people who have had their PC for 10+ years and have seen only god knows how many vehicles.

    I`ve had it for over a year. It`s only seen about 15 details. Poopy.



    Al that`s a good idea. I plan on doing that but i had to go down to a local tool store and pick up a new one. I really have to get my car done. It`s been sitting in my garage for five days already! No time to mess around with the old one right now. But when i get a chance i`ll try to refurb the old one and see if anyone wants a pc.

    if it can`t be fixed (hopefully it will), have you thought about purchasing the UDM?

    If it didn`t want to start on some speeds and did on the higher speeds, sounds like the "switch" is bad.

    Good luck, Changeling
