Genisys or EVO scan tool display fix


Recommended Posts



Yes, problems with those batteries. I keep an extra new one for WHEN I am going to need it, Not IF I am going to need it. I have a Genisys 4.0 (2009 Dom/Asian/2010 Euro) with scope module I keep for dedicated lab scope and back up scanner in addition to my other line up(Snap on Solus/Autel ds708).

 

Got to Radio Shack or check them online. They use to carry a RC(Radio Control) 9.6 volt package with a charger stand for about $15. I bought 2 of them when they were closing stores. Also, you could find one on ebay for a little more. Shop around ebay for better price. If you get one with out charger stand, plug in scanner after replacing battery pack and charge for at least 4 hours.

 

There is a cover on the back with one small screw. Pull out the battery pack and carefully disconnect it so as not to pull on the wires from the mother board.

 

Good luck and happy scanning!

      Most shop owners would agree that the independent auto repair industry has been too cheap for too long regarding its pricing and labor rates. However, can we keep raising our labor rates and prices until we achieve the profit we desire and need? Is it that simple?
      The first step in achieving your required gross and net profit is understanding your numbers and establishing the correct labor and part margins. The next step is to find your business's inefficiencies that impact high production levels.
      Here are a few things to consider. First, do you have the workflow processes in place that is conducive to high production? What about your shop layout? Do you have all the right tools and equipment? Do you have a continuous training program in place? Are technicians waiting to use a particular scanner or waiting to access information from the shop's workstation computer?
      And lastly, are all the estimates written correctly? Is the labor correct for each job? Are you allowing extra time for rust, older vehicles, labor jobs with no parts included, and the fact that many published labor times are wrong? Let's not forget that perhaps the most significant labor loss is not charging enough labor time for testing, electrical work, and other complicated repairs.  
      Once you have determined the correct labor rate and pricing, review your entire operation. Then, tighten up on all those labor leaks and inefficiencies. Improving production and paying close attention to the labor on each job will add much-needed dollars to your bottom line.

      As we close out 2022, it's time to reflect on the past year. Review your accomplishments, the state of your business, your personal life, and things that could have gone better. The key thing to remember is that it's better to have a plan and goals instead of trying to fly blind. 
      Establish your goals for 2023 and beyond. Include family time too, and time for yourself.  It's not all about business. Having the right balance will actually make your business more successful.  
      Speak with your employees too. Find out from them what went wrong, what went right, and what they would like to see in the coming year. While you can't always act on what your employees want, getting their perspective will not only help you create the plan moving forward, it will help to build morale, a win/win for all.
