I just got a set of used TMCC SF F3 locomotives. When they arrived the TMCC didn't work so I opened the powered unit up and found the RS or TMCC unit was off of it's mount.  I plugged it in and the TMCC was restored but pressing the #9 button would not activate the smoke.  I have only had Legacy locomotives and I do not know if I am missing something or not. What are the possibilities that both smoke units would go out.  I checked and the fans do not go on at all.  The wicking and resistors look unused. If anyone can shed some light on this before I ship them off for repair.

The reset worked, it took a couple of tries but it worked.  There was a problem though in the dummy unit, the funnel has a pin the keeps it high enough to meet the roof.  the pin was too long and kept hitting the fan and stopping it a little snip and it fit in there and now works great.  The lead smoke unit work but may need replacing as it doesn't seem to blow the smoke out as hard as the other one.
