Frankaz-UK Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Hi, just brought a HM7000 Dcc 8 pin chip for my R1230M (GWR HST) and the pins are very loose in the socket.Is this normal?Do I need a replacement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 All the pins will be the same, the socket is likely to be the problem. Try carefully bending the pins a bit to make them grip better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankaz-UK Posted July 11, 2023 Author Share Posted July 11, 2023 Sent the chips back to Amazon in the end. Trains just didn't move with them in...Brought some cheaper Rails Connect and they work fine, and no loose fitting either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brew Man Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 So you've abandoned the HM7k route then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankaz-UK Posted July 11, 2023 Author Share Posted July 11, 2023 So you've abandoned the HM7k route then? Temporary departure. The boxes from Amazon looked open anyway. I could play sounds, just no movement. I got the cheaper chips just to prove that the eLink/RailMaster Software works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brew Man Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I see, that's good. It would have been a shame to give up on HM7k, it gets better and better as the initial wrinkles get ironed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
