Powercommander Help Please?

Just recently had my powercommander replaced under warranty. Device threw a device code 39 error and the serial number would show with strange character and incorrect numbers, would not take a map and when looking at the rpm range on the unit it went up to 20,000. Dynoject said the firmware went south.

Now the second unit has done the same, does anyone know what may be causing this to happen. Debating on reguesting a refund and going with sert. Beginning to think powercommander has a defect in the software or vram system. I am wondering if there is a limit to how many times you can send a map to the pcIIIusb before it fails like this.

Tried the reset did not work and when I try to send a map it give error incompatible error. Any help or thoughts greatly appreciated.

Make sure you don't have any pinched wires in the harness.
Maybe a short is taking it out...

What is the purpose of the dielectric grease, I would think that if it were that important they would provide it with the unit instead of merly suggesting the use of it.
