Reply to "Mikes Train House W/PS1 Battery Change & Locomotive Won't Run"

I recently purchased a Dreyfuss Hudson 30-1113-1 that would sound 2 bells upon start up and do nothing else. I tried a new battery and a BCR but it still wouldn't come out of reset. I took it to my LHS that has a Z-4000 to try and get it to re-program with no success. The shop owner was on speakerphone with a MTH lead technician and he said the sound chip was bad and that they had replacements for $30 + shipping. He gave me the part number. I called MTH's tech dept and the guy couldn't find the part listed & he referred me to Midge Wilburn (midge@mth-railking.com) & she was able to get me a new chip. So for $40 my PS1 Dreyfuss runs again. This might be worth investigating. The chip is the small one on the top board and used a chip puller to remove it and the new one pops right back in.
