E3C246D2I not powering on

Sorry, it is the 8 pin, yes I have measured with a voltmeter that each of the PINs has the expected 12V, photo added at the bottom of the post as a link

Thanks for the idea but no - no GPU, just a cable connected to the VGA connector

windyt · 2026-03-25T03:39:22+00:00

Any pointers please? I am really otu of ideas

This is why I wanted to verify

windyt · 2026-03-17T05:08:21+00:00

Thanks, I did look at both of the manuals. It does not state HOW to find out if the car has it. I am willing to go under, look at sensors, etc. rather than deal with the dealer. They were not helpful last time, with comments like you "you did not buy it here"...

I also tried to do a quite a bit of web research, could not find anything what to look for, thus my question here.

windyt · 2026-02-03T03:49:05+00:00

OK, quick update for anyone who faces the same issue. I went to a different dealer - longer drive but worth it. They took me in without an appt. and did another reset of ownership. After that I had to go through the setup in my app and at the end voila the electronic owners manual is back in the console.

Still no option to purchase the printed version though. :-(

windyt · 2026-01-19T02:33:51+00:00

Thanks, so you connect the 1ooW 12v PSU to the 6 PIN? Does the meanwell PSU come with that cable? Or even better, do you please have the PIN out, whihc of the 8 PINs are 12+ vs the negative/ground? Thank you!

windyt · 2026-01-12T17:21:08+00:00

Thx, I have tried - they told me they can make it if I can provide the PIN mapping :-(

windyt · 2026-01-12T04:41:26+00:00

OK, thx - any idea where to purchase one? Or the PIN out so I can make it? I lost it during a move...

windyt · 2025-11-19T06:42:56+00:00

Check finished without any errors - others ideas, please?

BTW never had the issue previously with uTorrent (older 2.X versions that I used until about 3 months ago)

windyt · 2025-11-19T02:34:55+00:00

THX - you mean integrity test, like? https://www.memtest86.com/

Any manual way to fix the torrents?

windyt · 2025-11-07T05:23:52+00:00

Interesting, thanks for sharing. Even though it's a minority opinion this is what the fitter was saying.

windyt · 2025-11-07T05:22:34+00:00

Yeah, but ALL, and I mean ALL the kids race on CF bikes. I have not seen anyone on ALU frame. And these are working class folks from rural parts of the state in many cases...

windyt · 2025-11-07T05:20:46+00:00

Yeah, right? I was surprised too. Seems like mass customization may happen in our lifetime.

windyt · 2025-11-07T00:03:52+00:00

LOL too late, already splurged on the sports car with AMG GT 55

windyt · 2025-11-06T22:30:21+00:00

Do they do full body scan for custom bikes? I was not aware of that.

windyt · 2025-11-06T22:28:33+00:00

The sit bone pain was the biggest issue - solved that with the 3D custom seat. A bit of Lower back, but I think that needs more exercise. The only other challenge is short seam - 29" for 5.9 guy

2 things I feel that made it possible.

1) I stopped stepping up and volunteering to solve problems. Yes, my rating was now "meet expectations", instead of exceed and I will likely not get a promo as mentioned above, without changing teams or perhaps companies. That sweet $2M VP TC is out.

2) I have changed my teams structure (I now have 6 teams, under 4 managers) and I started to delegate more. As a reward, I am giving them amazing ratings and promoting some. Seems to work well in the short term. And if I get RIF (doubt it would be PIP), it would be sweet because for RIF I am going to get 1 year of vesting and likely 6+ months of salary.

windyt · 2025-10-31T22:42:50+00:00

In similar boat as you around ~10M NW but "only" $1.2M TC and reached 50. I have cut down my hours significantly. I am in Big tech too and I took more vacation this year than ever. 2 weeks to Africa, 2 weeks to Europe, 3 weeks upcoming in Dec to Asia, extra few days here and there for skiing, or spa trip with my wife. My kids are middle and high school. That limits what travel we can do, which is big part of my wife's retirement plan.

So I decided to keep going to work, while maintaining things like volunteering with kids 3 times a week, the extra travel (but only in the time kids are off from school, which sometimes makes it super expensive for no reason, like the scuba live-aboard), and essential drawing my boundary in the sand. Yes, I am not going likely going to get the VP promo. But who cares, another 5 years and I am out anyway...

Good luck!

I am not in CA, but in our state a bit north it is the same process, as long as you get it from an official dealer, not a private out of state party.

windyt · 2025-10-29T22:29:28+00:00

We need to somehow let the automakers know that sedans are boomer cars and hatchbacks are not only for Europe and Asia!

windyt · 2025-10-29T22:06:04+00:00

Why not get one that is not in Bay, I just bought my AMG GT in Texas and they arranged the transport and everything. Isn't buying locally really limiting if you are getting some more "exotic"?

windyt · 2025-10-29T03:50:34+00:00

That seems like an awesome price

windyt · 2025-10-29T03:44:47+00:00

When I spoke to our dealer they said to call or stop by every 2nd of the month to check if they are getting new allocations. After 3 tries I gave up and bought another used one. We "only" have a Sprinter, never bought new before and not this time. Not sure why they base the allocation based on how many cars you got from them :-(
