I have a 6-18770 Christmas Thomas with Lion Chief remote. Older, no Bluetooth. Was sitting in storage since last Christmas. Fired it up. It makes "neutral" sound and lights, but receives no signals, either from its dedicated remote or a universal remote. I assume the receiving board is dead? Any suggestions of things to try before replacing the board (at least $45, if I can get one) or just junking the thing?
