Default Tech 2 owners I need a reflash

I was updating my Tech 2 the other night and the power flickered during the update and now the Tech 2 won't function. I don't know if the card is fried or just corrupted. Anyone with a Tech 2 willing to see if they flash my card with their Tech 2 or know of someone that can do it?

I guess a more worst case senario would be if my VCI is bad from the power spike.

You might be screwed, I bet the card is corrupted. Unfortunately I'm not local to you but if you feel like mailing it I can try programming it in our Tech2's.

I feel screwed. I hate having a tool and a problem to deal with and sitting idle. I can send you the card and the VCI if you want to swap out to see what is wasted. I hate to just buy a card (min 300.00) then find out it's something else.

PM me you address and I will get it out tomorrow. I'll include a return label as well. Looks like I will owe you more than just a couple of your favorite beverages if/when we ever meet up. If we ever drive up to the Windy City I'll look you up for sure. You have been a tremendous help.
