My old Snap-On scan tool finally gave up last Wednesday

Had a 2005 Ford F-150 come in with a weird misfire and my trusty MODIS just bricked on me mid-diagnosis. Battery was fully charged but the screen went black and started smoking a little. Anybody found a solid replacement that won't break the bank but still reads live data right?

Nah man, that smoke was telling you something important.

Unplug that thing immediately and don't try to turn it back on. Once you see smoke the board's already fried, you're just asking for a fire at that point.

Wait, your screen actually started smoking? Like real smoke coming out of it? That's a whole different level of dead than just a blank screen.
