I had mine die. My laptop went to sleep while I was uploading a file. The program was 50% done when it happened. I had to have the car towed to my house. I took the pcm out and sent it to Ken at carputing. He was able to reflash the pcm for me. I made sure I disabled all the sleep functions on my laptop.

$60 + my shipping to Carputing & PCM is alive again <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> Don't know why it locked up <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Dave from Carputing said that having a backup PCM is wise <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> My backup WILL be going to the track with me <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" />

My PCM locked up when using a new laptop with WIN XP. I was just at the LS1-Edit website, & it stated that LS1-Edit has NOT been qualified to run on WIN XP. <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" />

I have been using 2 older laptops with NO problems...
