Here are something to those new to this....

Where do I put files please?

The .bins are for either programming your Tech2 32mb memory card with or used with Tech2Win on your computer.

For Tech2Win you can put the .bin anywhere you want just point Tech2Win in the location of where you put it so it can boot it up.

For example:

Start Tech2Win, Select Modify / View, Click the grey square to the right that says create new, in the drop down box on the left select default, in the Please enter new name box to the right name it Opel184 Bin, Click Copy then ok, Now click the grey square to the right of where it says "Slot 0: memory card image location" and in the pop up window find the location where you put your .bin file and click on it then click on Save in the lower left hand corner then ok. Now click on the greenish square named Opel184 Bin to boot the .bin up in Tech2Win.

For the Tech2 memorycard You need to have another software called "Memory Card Explorer" to program the .bin to your memory card with in the pcmcia slot in an old laptop that has it, or another software called "Card Writer" to program your Tech2 memory card in the Tech2 connected to your computer with a J2534 connection the same as you would connect your Tech2 to your computer for SPS programming.

How is GDS2 updated?

This is a copy that someone had posted this info in another post but it here for you all to make it easy. If this don't work, you may need a newer version of GDS2 software if your is very old just so you know just in case of that happening

1. Select to show hidden files and folders in windows.

2. Put deliverable in location below and remove current deliverable in there,

C:, ProgramData, GDS 2, PersistentData, Downloads, DataBackups

3. Start GDS 2, and go to Manage Diagnostics Packages, click on Browse, in the open window find the deliverable at the same location you put it in above, click on it and then click open. GDS 2 will restart, Close out of GDS 2.

4. Go back to this location,

C:, ProgramData, GDS 2, PersistentData, Downloads

5. Go in folder "CurrentRelease" copy file "deliverable_OpelVauxhall v2017.01.0" and place into folder "Deliverables" and delete the file that is in there so there isn't two different ones.

6. Restart GDS 2 and it should be up and working to diagnose.

How to replace GM Tech2 DC to DC converter to boot up

This is how to rework GM Tech2 PCB to make Tech2 scan tool clone boot up for use.

– Problem
Tech II clone not boot up (not turn on)

– Reason
The issue usually results from the DC to DC converter

This converter is a common internal component for the device GM TECH II
originally these come equipped with the “Meanwell SKE10A-05VT” and “BTCPower 4BE-01T-02”
you cannot longer purchase these items because they are not being manufactured anymore

You actually can find the “Meanwell SKE10A-05” but missing the “VT” and also missing 1 pin for the soldering points.
BEWARE this model dc to dc converter WILL NOT WORK
It may help you power on your device, but the power button among other programming features won’t work.

– Solution worked!
To replace DC to DC converter can avoid unpleasant surprises.

REC10-1205S/H2/M has a 6 pin connections, “Meanwell SKE10A-05VT” and “BTCPower 4BE-01T-02” have a 5 pin connections, is it not a problem when you change the component.
So, sort this out.

This list is for a DC to DC converter with the following specifications:
Input: 9~18VDC
Output: 5VDC 2.0A

– GM Tech 2 PCB before the DC to DC converter replacement
replace-gm-tech2-dc-converter-1
– Tech2 clone worked gain after the DC to DC converter replacement
replace-gm-tech2-dc-converter-2
replace-gm-tech2-dc-converter-3
– The important note: Tech2 not boot up when the car starts
So, how to fix a reboot Tech 2 when starting the car? The square dedicated native voltage Stabilizer, black spots, this is how it is better to feed on, immediately giving to drink block, then the main Board gently giving to drink lagged behind in her legs. By means of wooden toothpicks carefully remove the solder prepared under us new voltage regulator (mornsun VRB1205LD-15W DIP).

* To avoid boot-up issues, had better buy a high-quality Tech2 clone from a man of his words to trust in. This is a good one you can try with great reviews/feedback on forums: http://www.obdii365.com/wholesale/gm-tech2-gm-diagnostic-scanner-with-32mb-card-tis2000.html
