I'm sorry to say, but that's probably the end of that speedo without sending it off to see if anything can be done by Horizon (and charged accordingly)
I've had one go the same way and have been unable to get it working again, haven't sent it off yet

The problem is that with either of those suggestions the software has to recognise that the esc is connected, if t doesn't then it won't allow you to do anything

Win XP, I should add that I have several of these esc. The others have been faultless and still communicate happily with the PC.

Default Return to horizon.

Sent my 6.5 combo back as it stopped working,replaced whole combo free as firmware was corrupted on website(2 years ago),Another losi driver told me never to connect esc to internet and just use pitcard,have done that for 2 years and esc has never missed a beat, been in 3 different cars so i would recommed that.
