And I had a broken, taped together Snap-On neck lamp hanging around.
So I repeatedly smashed them together until the two tools were integrated, resulting in an abomination that is now rechargeable (and two D cells lighter)
Still in proof of concept stage so to speak.

It's a magnet on my dry erase board. Keen eyeAJeep18 wrote: Off topic, but... where can I get a scanner Danner sticker like you have in the background!!!?
For a magnet, it's a quality piece of merch!

It will probably stay like this for the foreseeable future.
Gets about 6 hours of on-time.
Not great but more than adequate considering I can charge it between uses if needed or even use it plugged in.

Awesome! I love it!

Now I do not have it on the tool. Has anyone run into this situation?. All other aspects of the tool functions as intended. Please ,if someone knows a procedure to recuperate the Component Test side of the tool will appreciate the possible solution.Thanks
Bad times:(
If you're a professional tech you can sign up for iatn at Iatn.net where they have a dedicated Snap On hand held users forum that is monitored by Snap On representatives.
You maybe able to get some answers over there.
If you get it sorted out please post back so we know what the fix ends up being.
Or you can try to call the Snap on customer service hot line 1 877 762 7664

This event leave me..................with a two (2) channels scope with a GMM/DVOM........it certainly was a great lost of diagnostic info. Thanks Noah, for your help.
This is a long shot but you could try connecting the tool to an older version of shopstream.

Are you sure you didn't remove CF1 by mistake? Or pulling either card with the tool powered up might have done something. Either way it sounds like something might have gotten corrupted or deleted on CF1. About the only way you might be able to fix that is if you can get a CF1 image from another tool to copy files from.

Maybe find someone with one and rerad the chip off it and alter the scanner identifier data on the file you pull? I'd definitely backup all current configuration files on the device.
Maybe talk with your franchisee and let him know you're looking for one cheap in case he has someone trade as he's not going to give the person much on trade anyways.
Theres a guy named Daryll Caughron . He's on the Snap On Zeus users group on Facebook that Justin Dow created. I've spoke with him on chat a few times which is how I know he and another guy are some type of diagnostic guys for Snap On last I knew. He's also on Automotive Insight Network group on Facebook and many other groups. They generally help guys that seem to be having issues with some of their stuff. He's been resourceful for me I'd say.
Talk with him via Facebook Messenger and maybe he could point you in a direction? Just a long shot.... I'll share this page link with him as well. Maybe he has an account here and can chime in.

Got six months out of that crap ass flashlight battery.
Eventually I'll (begrudgingly) spend money on some new rechargable battery set up. But until then, I have a cell phone with a broken screen and a perfectly good battery!
You know the trick, smash them together to the point of integration....

What's the voltage requirement of the Vantage? What's the output of that cell phone battery?
I've thought about buying a rechargeable 18650 cell and making it fit into the Vantage case. Any reason this wouldn't work?

I don't know! Noah smash!!I have questions! :woohoo: Dead sick and tired of feeding D-cells to my Vantage every week.

One D cell is 1.5v so 2 is 3v and the Samsung displays nominal voltage of 3.8v. Fully charged it measured just over 4v and ran the Vantage while measuring it's own battery voltage in graphing mode for 6hrs 45min.
Still using the charging board from the Snap On neck lamp.
