Was switching between a scanguage for daily use and tactrix whenever I had to flash, no issues for 12mths. Used an ODBLink MX a dozen times and since had 2 writes fail mid flash, luckily they worked on second attempt. Not to say the MX is the only culprit, the ports really aren't designed for repeat use but interesting that you mention it.

Might try bending the pins a bit next time but probably time to replace the pins and leave an extension cable connected instead.
