Who fixes pcms and what caused this?

This is the first time I have fried a pcm. I was using Tunercat and it stopped shortly after I started it. It said something like invalid response from pcm. All, I know is, it isn't working. The pump comes on for about 1/4 of time it used to and the fans immediately come on. I can't read the pcm and it won't crank.

My next question is, who fixes them? I thought Andrew use to but does he anymore?

Thanks.

I think it also said something like disk write error.

I know Ion aka madwolf will fix it for a reasonable cost and in a reasonable time frame.

Have you used the same procedure to program the PCM every time or did you try something new or different this time?

The only thing I did different was download a file from bfranker's site. I had to convert it to a .bin file from .lt1 file. I then modified it and tried to load it.

My laptop's A drive is not working too good so I am wondering if there may be a problem with my laptop which caused the error during programming.
