Title: Jump start busted my MFA
Post by: russ-vdub on 30 March 2008, 14:26

I got a flat battery the other day cos forgot the interior light and side lights were on the whole 3hours i was working on my motor, jump started it, now my MFA just has a blank screen  :angry:  anyone have this before, if so is just a case of disconnecting and then reconnecting the battery? or has something blown that i can't see?

Cheers in advance

Russ

My MFA has always started working again after leaving the battery disconnected for a couple of hours.

Your lucky... My battery was disconnected for a couple of weeks and the MFA LCD's have leaked, sending half the screen black   :cry:
