I then called Linear Logic and was instructed to just go ahead and send my unit in with a note what the problem is, what car it's in, and the return address.

After exactly one week I get a package in the mail. It's my old unit but it looks like it has new buttons, the backlight works and on top of that it's loaded with new software. It also came with a new manual.

Right away I noticed I'm getting more accurate fuel consumption(gph), it also senses when my injectors are off and shows it. On my next drive where I did 50/50 city/hwy I got 43.X mpg. Not bad considering there was some traffic on the freeway. The car in question is 99' civic 5spd dx.

My best before was 49mpg on freeway only drafting a truck could probably be beaten with this updated scangauge.

One happy customer
I had the same issue (backlight not working) with my ScanGauge II 2 years ago. I sent it to them and received it (repaired) a week later (During Christmas week!) All it cost me was shipping to them.
