@jslo I also need to get in touch with you about this issue, can you please private message me as well? I would really appreciate it, thanks in advance.
Too afraid to disassemble my new HD to clone it, even though I should on an SSD for future backup. I’m not great at the computer stuff.

Regrettably joining the party here. Is there common knowledge here on what type of hard drive I'll find in a 2013 991? Is that my first step in determining a path forward given the resets fail? I also DM'd Ozzy. Thanks all.

Just wanted to post, a thank you to Ozzythething. I tried to clone the HDD myself but it was too corrupt and damaged. I reached out to Ozzythething and he sent the SSD and update disc the next day. I finally got sometime over the weekend to replace the HDD in the PCM. Everything worked seamlessly. I replaced the drive, plugged everything back up, ran the update disc, and everything is working again as it should. Don't hesitate to message Ozzy.

Hi @Ozzythething my name is David and am in dyer need of your assistance.
A couple weeks back I was driving my 2013 981 Boxer when my 3.1 pcm started resetting every 3-5min. I stared scouring the web to find a solution and that’s when I discovered the thread on rennlist.com.
I attempted to replace my damaged hdd with a new ssd using the instructions on the form but came to realize that the data on the old hdd was so corrupted that it wouldn’t allow me to clone the software on to the new ssd.
I already have the update disk but would you happen to have an already cloned or spare ssd with the software already pre-installed? I’d super appreciate it and would gladly purchase it from you.
Thanks in advance!
