Default MD 250 Mustang dyno problem in Stockbridge

Is anyone near Stockbridge/south Atlanta area familiar with hardware/software on a md250 Mustang dyno? My next door neighbor bought one that seemed to work fine at first. He left power plugged into it without using it over the holidays, and now it seems that the load brake is staying engaged constantly. I'm sure that he would be happy to trade some dyno time for help in fixing the problem.

Actually, a mustang dyno is da bomb for a turbo car. Sure my numbers would be lower than a dynojet but the turbos spool exactly like they do on the street on a mustang dyno. On a dynojet, sometimes they spool like 1000rpms later due to not enuff load. It helps in picking a stall and launch rpm with the data you get from a Mustang dyno. The dynojet is just good for internet numbers and where your peaks are for shifting.

It turns out we finally found that one of the 16 electromagnet coils in the power absorbing unit was shorted out. Now if I can just figure out the right computer settings for the inductive rpm pickup lead...

It's in my next door neighbors garage. Me, him, and some of the other people at work all like to mod our vehicles, so we chipped in on a md250 that went for a good deal on e-bay right before christmas.
