why is it that when i run a power inverter to charge the laptop, i cannot scan the truck, the scanner wont connect at all, i unconnect the power to the laptop, then restart the scanner and it works.

not a clue...maybe the inverter is sucking too much power? I havent ran an inverter in a while...actually since I got my mpvi pro since I don't need a laptop. If I get a chance tonight I'll see if I can recreate it though
just friggin cold out lol
It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...
A wise man once said "google it"
What power inverter are you using? I am using a Black&Decker unit found at Home Depot. It works great and I have no ever had a problem with scanning, while attached. Could be an isolated case, as Bill suggested.
Got mine at Fry's Electronics (In George's neck of the woods)

my battery was real good on the laptop, 3 hour charge, lasted quite a long time back when i first bought hptuners in 04, but now the battery is crap, thought this would work.
