Sad to say that TriStateTuners will be going offline sometime around Oct. 15, 2024. After 20 years online, times have changed and its no secret that the forum's activity level has slowed to a crawl. Its been an incredible run with so many amazing friendships formed and community events held, plus all of the technical knowledge and entertainment shared online. I know I'm not the only one who has had both their personal and professional life impacted and improved significantly from this community, and I'm happy to have been a part of something so special. Thank you to so many people who volunteered to the community -- the entire moderating team, behind the scenes IT support, those who organized events, and everyone who contributed online to this unique local car community. I hope that many years after the prime of TST, many of you are still enjoying cars even if we are all "grown up" now. Please take the time to revisit your member journal and reminisce, or browse any other parts of the forum. Maybe reach out to an old friend or two and make plans to grab dinner and catch up. The timeline may change slightly but I wanted to get this notice up as quickly as possible to give everyone a bit of advance notice. Thanks for everything, TROLL

The connector that plugs into the charger broke and wont charge the Unit now. Well i opened up the Gps Unit took the motherboard (or circuit board maybe?) I noticed that the charger connection peice has like 5 prongs(silver strips) that attach it to the circuit board... well they were all broken, actually they looked fried... Can i just go to lowes and pick up solder and do it myself... i have never soldered in my life. To sum this up.. Im assuming if i solder this connecter back to the circuit board, it will hold a charge again. Is this all i need? http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?actio...SP7&lpage=none i thought i needed something to heat it with? __________________ 1994 300zx twinturbo ASP underdrive pulleyJWT pop chargerJWT ECU + boost jetsStage 3 Z1 clutch/ultra light flywheel comboDivorced MR DP'S2.5" MR TP'S2.5" SZ res x-pipe2.5" SZ quad tipped catbackFidanze short shifter with SPL bushingsJSPEC front bumperJSPEC tailsclear corner rear signalsHP Racing 18" wheels
