I have had the Scantool for my 964 for a number of years. Recently after an engine rebuild it has stopped working or at least it will not connect.
I have read all the forum posting - downloaded the latest software. checked that is connect to the correct com port, everything I can think of.
The only conclusion i can come up with is that the circuit board is not working. Is there any way to check the board or can someone tell me where I can buy another circuit board. I am not clever enough to build my own.

I bought one off ToreB a few years back for some reason I could never get it to connect. The blue light comes on in the module when plugged into the OBD but getting it to read on the PC is the problem. I've tried everything and ultimately given up following which I sold my 993.
Now I've bought the 964 and an interface to connect with the round plug on the car I must have another go..............

Twood, you could have a look in my Troubleshooting guides in my Scantool downloadable file on my product page. These docs are containing most of the issues using Scantool and a serial adapter. You might find some tips there.

I see your adapter PCB has several LED's, I would guess it's produced according to the original Scantool design presented here on Rennlist.
My Troubleshooting guides include test procedures, and these can be used for your adapter too.

I went through all your instructions as per the W7 setup.
Becuase I was able to connect directly into a serial port on an old desktop I did feel I needed to worry about the USB drivers so i did nothing with these.
I connected into Com 1 port-checked it in the device driver
I changed the com port "ini" file
I changed the "Run me to change Porsche model" to 964 model
Still I cannot connect-have I missed something?
Could it be the interface board?
I really appreciate the assistance.
regards Ken
