    Hello All,

    I'm having a problem with my LH-100 system. When I turn on the power to the system the only thing that happens is the hand held flashes "LH-100" and there is no red light on the LZV100 although it must be getting power to the hand held somehow. The power pack seems to be working fine.

    The track doesn't have any power and I've tried disconnecting everything to make sure there are no shorts and nothing seems to change.

    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Curtis

    Did you drop the LH 100 handheld?

    Here is a quick fix for the LH 100. Push the cord from the LH 100 back up into the unit slightly. That should restart your system.

    Stay cool and run steam..... [​IMG] :cool: :cool:

    Hi All,

    Thanks for the tips. After working with your tips, talking with my LHS and a few other people that know far more than I about DCC I spent all weekend trying to trouble shoot the problem and hopefully breathe life back into the command station, but no luck. I talked with Debbie Ames from Lenz North America this morning and they are going to replace the system. Way cool of them to do as we still don’t know what caused the failure.

    It was a frustrating weekend not being able to run the trains but it did force me to get some of the landscaping and buildings built that I’ve been putting off for way to long. The layout gods work in mysterious ways. You know what they say “a bad day model railroading is still better than a good day at work”.

    Thanks again for the help,
    Curtis

    Debbie Ames at Lenz is very accomodating and replaceing a system due to some type of failure is standard operating procedure. They have the best warranty for DCC, "no questions asked".

    They have the same policy with" failed decoders" for any reason.


    Enjoy your new system.
