Hey all,
I recently got my starter kit, and also 3 used loco LM3-S modules from ebay. After clearing the passwords I was able to see them with the HC2 and the computer CI1. The version on the LM3-S was old so updated that using the CI1. Then added the EMD 710 ACE ULT sound file to a loco with the HC2 (I had already loaded the file there previously). I'm a little fuzzy what else I did, but now I have some sort of problem.
When I try to access the loco setup menu, I got a little dancing blue dot on the screen and none of the buttons work. It's like it's locked up, but the throttle still works to control the loco.
Also, similarly, if I try to access the "adjust settings" button on the HC2 I get basically the same thing. The dancing blue dot (like the normal wait display, but it doesn't actually say "wait" ).
It seems to be hung in this position for a long while until the auto power off kicks in and shuts it down. Then when I turn it on, it seems to function OK, unless I attempt to enter either setup spot, and then it does the same thing. The HC-2b has the latest 2.29 version, and it was brand new a few days ago.
The Ci-1 on the computer does not act this way at all. Seems to be HC2 related.
One thing it seems like I deleted an old prime mover sound file from the l3ms, but it was being used for the button. Just went in and changed that button to call the new file (via the CI1) and saved the change. Was hoping that would fix it, since they didn't line up, but no. The HC-2 still "locks up" when I try to enter the loco setup area. The HC-2 did give the "buttons changed, need to save" message though.
No idea what I did, or how to undo it. . . . thoughts?
