OFT Flickering

Im trying to connect my OFT to my computer but the screen seems to flicker and fails to connect. They OFT shouldn't have any damage as I keep it in the backseat of my car and never dropped it or anything.

Any thoughts?


Update:

It seems that the OFT or the chord is messed up, managed to connect it and get the job done.

I flashed the Stage 2 UEL 91 Oct tune onto my car and now the Engine light is on. When I flashed my stage 1 a while back, the same problem occurred but it disappeared the next day. Any reason for this?

Also, when I brake, there seems to be a little rocking movement that happens to my car.

Likely the usb lead may be damaged, they are standard leads most computer shops will have one.
