Something we saw at the Nats on a guy who had all 4 ports on his laptop "working."

If you had a failure I'd also like to know this info:

Car:
Battery:
Connectors:
Motor:
Gearing:
Settings:
There is nothing to clear. It doesn't save any data. I try to clear it before I run it and it still has no data after I bring it back in.

It's not a powering the Hotwire issue, it's a connection into the fan port issue. If you gently wiggle the Hotwire adapter at the fan port you can see the rx8 LEDs turn on and off.
