  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.

  It sounds frustrating that your Vlinker MC+ has stopped working after just 10 months. Since it pairs with your phone but won't connect to any OBD applications, it might be worth checking if there are any firmware issues or compatibility problems with the apps you're using. I had a similar experience with a device and found that sometimes a fresh start helps; it reminded me of taking an iq test free to clear my mind. Hopefully, you can get it resolved soon!
