Hi,I have been away from the hobby for some years , now I'm back and I bought two Zen ZN8H decoders with the Stay Alive add on.
I installed the Zen Nano into a Bachmann 56xx London Transport L89 and did the test on rollers it ran beautifully in both directions smooth as! Then I added the stay alive black to black and blue to blue, and it ran ok for a minute then it started to act erratically speeding up and stoping a few times so I cut the Stay alive off and tried to run again and after about 10 secs there was a short on the line and the smoke came out of the decoder! and as you know once it's out, thats it, you can never get it back in!.
has anyone else had this problem? Or is it something I did or said? I have put the other new Zen Nano into the loco without the Stay alive and it's running so well.
I'm running on Roco Multimaus and 10764 system.I have a new z21 that thats a whole differnt non starter.
Cheers in advance.
