i guess thats another way of fixing it. So you are saying that this unit had some funny problems before, while your second one works fine as kind?

I have not yet replaced the M3000 yet but I will eventually replace it with a new one
The issue with the Bluetooth started at first where sometimes it would just lose the connection after being used to log the testing process after many hours of use then it progress to where after you would be finished with a testing session and want to do the next session to another batch of batteries you would have to power cycle for it to reconnect again then when we had a power supply issue from the power company that finally finished the Bluetooth connection for good so like said earlier I think something else happened to the controller because it is locked on charging mode and you can not change it even after a few factory resets and not only it is doing this if you do not put a battery into the battery tester after a few minutes it goes to a screen saver mode even though it is turned off now if you start the charge mode function it will charge until it is finished charging but I do not trust it at all for it reliably anymore that is why I parted it out

The ZKEteck battery testing machine failure is another story because this is one that I have not completely figured out what exactly goes wrong when it goes into a short circuit situation when you lose control of the battery current control

sam_sam_sam I had an Ansmann battery charger with an STM32 in there. It had an intermittent in there that I traced back the STM itself.

I emailed the ZKEteck company and asked about getting the controller and mosfets boards and they emailed me back and asked for the model number of the battery tester and some pictures of the parts that I am after so let see if they will sell me replacement parts that I am asking for I will post there reply from the replacement parts

wouldn't that be the hoot if they do that.

Now they are asking me if I have friends in China to purchase them and for them to arrange for them to be shipped but I asked for them to use DHL or https://www.orangeconnex.com and use the USPS for the last mile a lot of purchases that I make on eBay that come from China this is service that they use so we will see what happens next I am not holding my breath with this however I would love for them to sell me replacement parts for them

Well I found another eBay seller that is selling the SkyRc MC3000 battery tester for the price that I was willing to pay for it and I purchased the 3 year protection plan which I did not do with the first one now that I know that this is an issue with this particular model I will see how long this one lasts but I going to recap the switching power supply that I did not do on the first one and let see if this makes a difference or not

Even this SkyRc is a little bit fishy as well but at least it is working it just turns on and off the Bluetooth however this new is a little different in that if you touch the battery symbol it turns off the battery charging and the Bluetooth function but when you touch the Bluetooth symbol it reconnects again the first one that I had did not do this the only way to turn it off was to close the application which was a little bit annoying

Something else that is different is that this one does not allow you to leave the LCD backlight on the screen to stay all the time like the first one did allow you to keep it on when there was a battery in the battery testing machine
