After resetting my tripometer after a trip to France, cannot get the bike to start even though I've tried resetting the computer. I thought it was the battery put it on charge over night and the battery is fine. It just won't fire up? Any suggestions please? Peter

Well, thats one for the books I believe.Without having the bike in front of me, I would suggest first finding out where the problem is NOT. Start with your ignition. Pull off a spark plug boot with a pair of insulated pliers.Hold the boot close to the plug and try to start the bike.See if you are getting any spark.If yes,then your problem is fuel, but that doesnt add up to what caused your original issue with the tripmeter. So I am betting you will not have any spark to your plugs. In which case, you have either a short between the handlebars and the coils which is causing them not to get the power they need to fire the plugs, or depending on the ignition system you have, you may simply have a shorted ECM.Again, to test components like that you will need test equipment and a manual.if your going to do it yourself, be patient and dont give up.Or you could simply take it to a shop and pay them their fees to diagnose the circuit failure.Good luck and I hope it is something simple that you can fix yourself.

Canon sx20 lens error

From your description it appears to be a mechanical problem. I doubt you can get it repaired in time for your trip.
I suggest you put your money towards a new camera and you maybe able to use the SD memory card from the old camera after you format the SD memory card in the new camera.

How do I reset the computer after changing the battery in my 2004 mini cooper S? The car started three times. Now it won't start even though all of the other electrics work

Turn off ignition. Press and hold the trip reset button, then turn the ignition on (don't start the engine), within 5 sec the SIA status will be displayed. Release the reset button. Press and hold the trip reset button for 5 sec, "rst" will be displayed. Release and re-press trip reset button.

The new status should be displayed.

Can you help??? I've just gotten back into biking and the bike shop recommended this computer. I cannot figure out how to use it. I have the "manual" but it really doesn't give enough...

They sold you the product, so they need to support it and help you. The unit may be defective, or it may just be a communication problem.

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/donald_f2ed37026a3ac881

How do I reset the maintenance warning indicator at the dashboard ?

Try this, it is the procedure for resetting the ASSIST computer on some Mercs 
1...Turn Key to position No:2 in the ignition / steering lock 2...Press AND Hold the button "000.0" (the trip reset button) TWICE within the space of 1 (one) second and turn the key to position No: 0 in the ignition / steering lock - release button 3...Press AND Hold the button "000.0" (the trip reset button) and turn Key to position No:2 in the ignition / steering lock 
That should do it....The service indicator will reset and an acoustic signal may briefly sound 
Good Luck..Let me know if it works?
