    I did. They failed to fix it remotely and sent me to SLC Thermoking. We’re 5th in line.

    Really midnight, just go to eBay, find one for a few hundred and put it in.

    This is just as funny as your trying to figure out how to open a window.

    By the way I owned a few fiats in my life, a fiat abarth 750, a 600, x19 and a coach built 500 from the 50's which was fun to drive.

    Huh, I didn’t realize Thermo King worked on Omnitrac ELD’s. Good to know.

    This one does. There are only a few Omnitracs service centers in the country.

    Lots of broken junk for sale on Ebay. I had one X1/9 but mostly flipped 124 Spyders.

    I wish the problem was as simple as a dead battery. That’s the kind of tech problem I am capable of solving.

    I have a feeling its file corruption preventing the MAS from booting into Windows (they run Windows XP Embedded) . If that's the case it's simple a software fix. Hope things work out for you.

    They run windows CE which is a realtime OS. That's why it takes time to do things and isn't very snappy.

    Ah ok, the info I was gathering indicated it ran XPe. Should be the same deal getting him back up and running at least.

    You can actually download the contents of the drive over Bluetooth. It's kind of weird. Looking at the files I pulled, the executables in the Windows directory are WinCE arm.
