Here's a list of reset cv's for different decoders. Someone had posted it a few years back.

I did a search and found others who used CV=8 for their Bachmann decoder reset.
So it does work at least on some of theirs.

I have seen that CV8, use 8 as mentioned by the Bachmann rep at the Bachmann forums.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.
I have never had a Bachmann Decoder, don't they use a cheap Lenz decoder? If it is CV 8 has to be sat to 33 to clear the decoder.
Good luck.

Ken, You are correct that some use #33.
So depending on the decoder if one does not work try the other number. If neither work it may just be dead.
This whole thread is one reason that I own a decoder tester.
Something that all of us should have on our work bench.
