Lionel is no longer servicing the base. I wonder if this will be an issue for the 1.0 repair?

If you recently purchased this cab2 on the secondary market, and the seller offers returns.

You might want to contact Lionel and see if they will do the update, and consider a return if they don't.

Rather than getting guesses here call Lionel and explain what you have like Rick and Vernon suggested.  If it's a simple firmware change you maybe in luck.  If it's hardware then all bets are off.  Either way the first call is to Lionel.  If I remember correctly the ones that were corrected from the factory had a silver dot inside the battery compartment.

When I tried out the 990 system, mine shipped with either 1.1 or 1.2. The Base Utility was unable to write and upgrade module for the CAB2 remote and I don't think I was able to upgrade the Base directly either. I contacted Lionel and they sent me modules for the Base and CAB2 to upgrade them to 1.3. From there I was able to upgrade to 1.52 and create a 1.52 upgrade module for the CAB2. Shortly after that, I donated the 990 set to a club in need and carried on with my original TMCC setup.
