Try installing a battery. I have one or two legacy steamers that adding a battery fixed this issue. I do recommend the battery alternatives such as a BCR or the battery replacement from Henning's trains. sorry Cant I cant remember what version I got from Henning's is called.
As for your three blinks- When this happened to my legacy berk it turned out the smoke unit had gotten particularly nasty and gummed up. I assume from using to much fluid. I took the unit apart replaced the wadding and cleaned everything with rubbing alcohol and it seemed to resolve the issue.
