Hi Simon,
I went to use my dice for the first time today to find out why my T5 had a low speed misfire having changed the plugs and the oil - I broke one of the tabs on a no3 pot coil connector so thought that might be the cause or possibly a failing plug even though new from our favourite Volvo dealer.
Try as I might I couldn't get the laptop to communicate with the DiCe and v.v.
The only lights that showed up were a constantly flashing Firmware status LED,
The USB status lamp flashed once or twice (laptop insisted on updating driver, I tried both denying and accepting - it made no difference.
The vehicle interface status failed to illuminate at all -
The DiCE unit was connected directly to the OBD port.
I tested the OBD port connectivity using a Konnwei 809 (An Autel "lookalike") - it connected correctly to the V70's system & etc found no codes.
I took screen shots of the messages on screen -
Memory test was passed, LED test wouldn't fully run as far as I could see, it failed the communication test (pic 4)
Is there a battery within the DiCe unit that could have failed?
Can you help throw some light on what may have gone wrong?
Oddly the misfire seems to have largely disappeared/cleared - there is an exhaust leak, it is due for a new exhaust to be fitted later in the week which may having something to do with the highly random tickover misfire.
Cheers
Alan
Sorry about the oversize screen shot photos!
