Re: No PWM from controller

Well,
That pretty much tells it all. Without the tether there can be no communication when wired. It is likely that the connector tore away some of the board traces when the damage occurred so even on radio modem it might not work. Do not pass go do not collect $200, get on the phone right away with IFI tech support so you can arrange for repair and possible loaner. They are very good about these things.

P.S. Don't feel bad, you aren't the first ones to trip over a cable and rip a connector out of the IFI controllers. Be happy that this didn't occur just before your last match for the Championship.
