Ms installation issues.
Ok guys, we had opened the Megatune file and connected the ms. At that time is was showing all the parameters and responding to commands. We were finding typical issues such as idling problems and were just trying to fix those. We proceeded then to open the easytherm file and that is were we screwed up. In the following step as per Braineacks instructions:
"Once you have changed the settings, click on the "Write .inc and .s19 Files" button on the bottom of the EasyTherm screen
The file that you want to write to is the 'msns-extra.s19' file in the C:\EFI\ folder in the MSnSE file that you unzipped to earlier." we burned this file to the wrong file and now the ms will not work.
What are my options? I am trying to find his reflash instructions without success so far.
thanks,
Rafa

FWIW, we originally installed the Megatune program and it was connected to the MS. We were facing issues about the car not wanting to idle and I suggested we opened the Easytherm program. Somehow he burnt a file (msm019? or something like that) to the wrong program and the MS stopped connecting to the laptop. Things can't be done in a hurry. Oh, well, c'et la vie!
Thanks,
Rafa
p.s. I just reread your post and I'll try that when I get it home. I also asked my tuner to put the car's original injectors in and I'll try to tune it myself when I get the car back tomorrow.

Ok guys, I've brought the ms back home with me. We downloaded the file Chad sent me but there's still no connection between the car and the ms.
We opened the ms case and I would like to know what to look for. My son Manny (software engineer) is trying to assist.
I think there is another issue here. The way I figure it this all started when we flashed the s19 file to the wrong place and after that lost all connection between the ms and the car. What should I look for in this case? Before that we had fired up the car and the only issue we were facing was that the car would die and not idle but we had communication between the ms and the car.

Rafa

So we followed instructions and know that the MS is connecting but we can only get it to connect to the car through the "Original BG Configuration" file and we figure that the 029s file is corrupted.
Can I get some suggestions about what we are doing wrong?
Thanks

What would happen if we tune the car using the "Original Configuration" file?
thanks,

I still don't know WTF we did wrong but, my MS is working fine despite my limited skills.
A big THANK YOU to you all and specially to CHAD my personal "guru". My apologies for everything. Another satisfied MS customer.
Merry Christmas and happy boosting to all!
