Brought the set new a couple months ago off eBay. ran great for about two hours in tmcc mode and all of a sudden locomotive stopped and wouldn't respond. to commands. I shut power off turned it back on and the locomotive comes on instantly when it gets track power but i can't select it with the remote. i can blow the horn conventionally and the sounds will be on but can't cycle it to make the locomotive move. I opened it up and tried to find something wrong and i can't see anything wrong. Anyone know possibly what could be the issue or where i should send it to be fixed?

Try reprogramming it?
Has it just been siting on the layout? Anyone move the run/program switch?
It was running when it happened, the run/program switch wasn't the issue is checked that and i tried reprogramming and stall exact same issue.
Could the antenna wire be loose from the roof plate? Could it be unplugged from the board?
It is getting power, but is it receiving the handheld remote commands?
I think first step is to take the shell off and check for loose connectors. Make sure the motors turn freely. Maybe an Odyssey magnet broke and is jamming a motor? Check the spur gears for something jamming the gears.
