2e0dtoeric Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Is it a new controller, or one that has been in use before? Has it worked for YOU, previously? Is the power supply fully plugged in? Are the wires the right way round, between the power supply and the Select? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pidder Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Have you tried a "reset" as described on page 19 of the manual. From experience some of these resets need to be done perhaps several times to get them to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashbang Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Hi If there are no wires or strands of wire in the terminals at the rear, then do try the reset as per the manual page 19. If that fails, return the Select to Hornby Service Dept in Westwood, Margate, Kent for repair/replacement. Depending on its age there may be a small charge for this service if its outside of warranty. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrissaf Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Paul, you've just bumped a dead post that is more than 3 years old....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul.P Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 didnt realise,why cant i still comment?,somebody might find it helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissaf Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Of course you can comment if you feel you can add value. Nothing against it at all. I was just inferring that you might possibly have been wasting your own time. It's more than likely the original poster has resolved his issue by now. And given that Razor has a total all time history post count of 5 all made in Jan 2013 he is unlikely to see these later posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul.P Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 i do not check the history of the poster,or indeed when it was posted,you must remember,i am coming back to the hobby,there are hundreds if not thousands of posts i have not yet read,and its all info for me,you have very kindly replied to questions i have posted,but you do come across as quite blunt,not everybody has your knowledge or know how,we all cant be experts,i hope it doesnt put off newcomers like me to this forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissaf Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Thank you Paul for the constructive criticism. I will try to provide a softer tone (less blunt) in the future. It seems I can't win. I have been remarked at by some previously for being too 'touchy feely'. Most criticism I receive is for being too detailed, or too wordy. I think it only the second time I can recall being told I'm too blunt. If it comes over that way, it is not intentional. I try my best to be factual in my replies, being 'matter of fact' can appear as bluntness I suppose..When I pointed out the expiry date of the original question in this thread. I was thinking of the time when I got caught out myself and did exactly what you did. I replied to an aged post without looking at the date. Then somebody followed on behind me and several more posts appeared before somebody else pointed out my oversight in resurrecting a dead thread as I did to yours. I treated it as a lesson learned and now look more closely at posting dates. Hence why I picked up on the dates on this occasion. I wasn't trying to be critical, just trying to pass on a lesson learnt from my own mistake..No hard feelings on my part. I will continue to look out for your posts and reply to them where I think I can add value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul.P Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 sadly Chris,there is no expression with text,absolutely no hard feelings,as i said you have been most helpful,there is such a lot for me to catch up on here,alll valuable info for a newbie like myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howbi Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 @Chrissaf................Actually, Chris, your demeanour on this occassion was not as bad as you think because you were only "quite blunt" as opposed to "too blunt"......... 😆.........so be content and have another scotch.....HB.

Chrissaf Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 HB, ignoring the jokes (well I hope they're jokes) for a moment and ignoring the time when I inadvertently upset you for which I was and still am expressly sorry. Taking my posts overall, of which you have read many, do you think they come over in a 'blunt' manner. If they do, then I would genuinely want to understand what makes them appear so.

Howbi Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 @ Chris.................I have never taken any post of yours as being "blunt".......informative, concise, to the point, detailed, matter of fact in the nicest possible way, yes..........it takes a little time to get to know each others manner of speaking for newbies here as I recently was............. I think the introduction and usage of the Emoticon symbols can go a long way to alleviate many a misunderstanding......... 😎.........Regards, HB.

Chrissaf Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 That's a relief HB, for a minute there I was beginning to think that your 'joke' had a hidden agenda to it. 😇 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2e0dtoeric Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 As you may recall, I've been told off before now for suggesting that (a poster) looks and posts in the proper thread. I was accused of being rude!You can't win 'em all! 😢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissaf Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I remember when I was a forum newbie I was very sensitive to any reply that I deemed being critical of me. It took me quite a long time to realise that nothing sinister was meant by the comments that I thought derogatory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yelrow Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Chris, compared with some, you are quite polte. Newbies apart, to be on most forums, requires a thick skin. Thats why i hesitate to post, being so easily upset. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissaf Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Only 'quite polite' John, not a 'very'.......I'm grossly offended..... 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yelrow Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 You are not the first, Chris, you are in good company. I have been known to offend before. Impish sense of humour, dont you know. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
