Boo hoo.... boo hoo... :cry: :cry: :cry: and a big baby WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!! :cry: :cry: :cry: And a big child temper tanty to add to that too. Not even a red lolly is gunna fix this one!
My new NCE DCC Pro that I shouted myself for a Chrissie present doesn't work, and I've gotta send it back under warranty. And I was so looking forward to spending some time with it (I don't have a wife) over the Christmas break from work too. :cry: :cry:
I ordered it from the retailer in Sydney (850 kms away) and it took 5 days to arrive. (arrived last Friday). Was gunna sit down and set it all up on Sat night (I work weekends), cept a storm went through and had a 16 hour blackout. Couldn't try it out on Sunday (if I could have, then I could have reported the fault to the retailer yesterday, and maybe had a replacement by Friday). So that left last night (Sun night) to try it out.
Well, the power supply don't have no power coming out of it. I checked it with the multi-meter. Nup. dead. checked the fuse, and yep. blown fuse. replaced the fuse, and nup... still no power, and the fuse is still intact. Not a hum, nor buzz, nor tiny vibration you normally get out of a transformer. Nuttin.....
Now the problem. I can't report it to the retailer till Wednesday. (they're shut Mon-Tues, as they are open weekends.)
So that certainly won't allow for a replacement to arrive for the Christmas holiday break.
Jan is not happy!!!! :cry: :cry:
Any ideas of how I can test it further to determine if it's really stuffed, or it may be something I can fix?
