gilbo2 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I have a brand new Pendolino 'dcc ready' set, I've fitted an r8249 decoder to the motorised power car which works fine. However, when fitting to the non-motorised power car, the decoders are 'frying' :-( i.e. they literally go up in a puff of smoke. Have lost two now! Before returning as faulty I'm not missing anything am I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Decoders usually fry either from overload or because the motor output gre and orange wires are connected to the track. Given overload shouldn't ve an issue, I would look for stray wiring or solder going to either grey or orange from somewhere that is connected to either red or black decoder wires.

Fishmanoz Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Gre should be grey and be should be be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graskie Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 For "generate" please read "degenerate" in Fishy's posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2e0dtoeric Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Fishy could have meant generate - a lot of spam! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

81F Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Hi Fishermanoz You thinkyou'vegot problems my spacebarison theblink - I have to keepgoingback to correct, or not as in this reply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Yep,they generate degeneration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Mine above is the answer to the bottom of page 1. And certainly a problem 81F, as you have shown very graphically. One of my problems on the iPad is hitting c, v or b instead of space. Two words together with one of those, the spellchecker can fix. Three or four and you have to start again, not just put in spaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graskie Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Let's face it. You're all trying to blame anything other than the real problem - senility! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But let us know if you still have a problem. As it was brand new I've returned it for repair, so will wait and see now. Yes, some threads change subject into something else, others become a waste of time, guess which one this thread is now ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
