Default Problems, problems, problems

Car wont start... 99.5 tip with APR chip. No check engine light when ignition is on, it only flickers sometimes with a clicking/buzzing sound under dash-board. Swapped ECU and car fires up, no problem. Is my ECU dead or is it a solder problem with the APR chip? What do you guys think.... If a solder problem, can I send ECU to APR for repairs?

Default hmmmm sounds more like a dead battery than a bad ECU/chip.

Get your batt. checked first to rule that out.

It's a solder. Open your ECU and take a close look at it.

Called APR and they think its a solder problem and I should send in ECU. Bought the car with the chipped ECU, does the warranty transfer to me. Didnt want to ask APR.

Like Kris said, don't mention it and delete this post. Don't want APR to see.
