Elite and Select Controllers Shorting without being plugged in to track

[ColinB]

From my experience of Elite DCC, power gets fed to the track as soon as the welcome screen disappears as normally if you have a short on the track that is when the error occurs. So I assume the DCC must be working. It sounds like, get Hornby to sort it out. I can think of loads of things it could be but nothing you can fix yourself.

The email option with Hornby takes about a week at least, I have been complaining about it for ages. So it sounds like a phone call.
