Okay, I used the phone cord and the hand held communicated much better with the TIU. I was able to take the remote apart after watching the video from Ron. It did take patience but I finally got it apart and yes, the board was loose so I re-seated it and placed a rectangular piece of soft rubber on it to hold the board and re-assembled it. I placed two DCS locomotives on the track and the remote did seem to communicate better with each locomotive but it would still say "ENGINE NOT ON TRACK' or 'CHECK TRACK' even though it did communicate better than recently before. When I would change directions or ring the bell however, the remote didn't communicate very well and I could not stop the bell or change the direction until I held the remote at a certain angle with the TIU. Now Alan said something about fuses. I have changed fuses in the TIU before using the exact kind MTH recommends and the TIU has worked for many years after that. Could there be another bad fuse? I'll go into the TIU in a bit but just brain storming here a little.
