My Tekin RS Pro finally bit the big one last week. While racing it suddenly slowed as though it had gone into Blinky (Stock) mode. Took the car off, gave the norm a wiggle (sensor cable, sensor port) put it back down and it started working, for a few laps. After that it reverted back to slow speed again.

Still, not bad for a speedo that has done a little over 2 and a half years service !

I am wondering though if it is just the sensor port playing up. I took the casing off to find alot of the solder joints look pale and grey rather than like solder. Says to me that it is corroding with age. I just wonder if I might be able to reoslve it though to use as a backup. Has anyone else had a similar issue at all, and did you manage to get it repaired ?

Im not unhappy at all....im quite pleased a product could last that long with the abuse it gets in my TC.
