I have a K-Line TMCC diesel that operated perfectly the last time I ran it about 1 1/2 years ago. Now, when I run it everything works except the sound volume. If I listen closely I can hear the sounds but they are very, very faint and I cannot gain any volume. The sounds I can hear are clear - not distorted, not staticy.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,

two places to raise volume, one on engine and the other with the remote.
try those.
Check the volume control pot and the speaker. Run the volume up and down a few times. Next check all the wiring.
Finally, reseat the boards. If you have access to a PLCC chip extraction tool, reseat the two PLCC chips on the audio board. Do NOT try to pull them out without the tool1
This was a timely subject since a Dash8 Amtrak sound took a crap running today. Since I have 2 of them to run in m/u I had a test unit. It turns out my railsounds power board died. New one on the way and now is the time to do the smoke unit clean and upgrade.......still a bummer. I also lost a MTH Premire Harley Davidson diesel. It lights and sits there in any state, command or conventional. Not seen by the DCS. Battery tests okay and I checked connectors somI am guessing the PS2 board is gone?
Could this be the SD-70???
