Vlinker MC+ stopped working.

My Vlinker MC+ after 10 months, suddenly stopped working.
Scanner is still visible by Android via Bluetooth and is pairing with telephone, but any of my OBD applications can`t connect with scanner.
I`m using full paid version of Carscanner, Torque and couple others and any of them can`t connect with Vlinker.
I tried it in other car and it`s not working either.
I was trying to use vlinker fwupdater app to get it updated but no luck, app can`t find scanner.
Only two lights are lit - power and BT is blinking...
Is scanner dead? -

Your Vlinker MC+ might be faulty. Since Bluetooth pairs but OBD apps can’t connect, try these steps:
Reset Scanner – Unplug for a few minutes, then retry.
Clear Bluetooth Cache – Remove & re-pair in phone settings.
Test on Another Phone – To rule out device issues.
Try Different OBD App – Some work better with Vlinker.
Check for Hardware Failure – Only power + blinking BT may indicate a dead unit.
