Did you fit the chip or was I it preinstalled? When you say the screen was messed up, what exactly did it display?

Hi
To prove ....
Remove the two track feed wires from the rear of the Select. Now power it up. It should start correctly. If ok power down again. If it fails or shows error message then its defective and needs to be replaced if new or repaired by

Hornby if its out of warranty.
Assuming it is ok, power down and reconnect the track two wires and remove all locos from the tracks. Power Select back up. It should start correctly. If ok, the problem would look as though its with the loco. If it fails

or shows an error your track wiring or the track configuration is the problem and needs investigating further.
