jini5,
Mine when I powered down would go into a white screen and it would not recharge the Cab2 batteries, I would need to pop a battery and reinsert it to activate the Cab2 again, I got around this by placing the Cab2 back in the base without turning it off. It would then recharge, however to activate the Cab2, I needed to pop a battery again, then it would come back on and work fine.
Got to admit this probably is not Lionel's fault, all electronic chip vendors over seas cheat on supplying chips to US companies, they either switch out the original costly chips for cheapies, or use faulty Chips to begin with, its their way of doing business. IMO Lionel is doing everything they can to make their customers happy, counter acting some of these under handed foreign business practices. Quality control in many of these foreign companies is almost a criminal act, in the way they supply an American company with their products. In our country what these foreign electronic companies are doing, to US businesses, as a standard business practice, would be considered a fraudulent business practice. Lionel is actually correcting the problem here in the USA with it's own repair shop. Every once in a while even the 2nd batch of Chips can be junk, and the customer ends up having the Legacy fixed for a 2nd time.
