I have a DCC layout using NCE power cab for control.
I was running two loco's in a consist yesterday and all of a sudden I lost all response from lead loco. It was getting power as sound was working but non responsive to all commands. I cleared the consist and the rear loco is working fine but lead loco still sits, sound on, but no response. I killed the consist again, checked CV 19 to zero, shut the system down and re-booted...same issue.
Looking for thoughts on "what to try next?"
Thanks,
Bart
When the obvious and easily checked possibilities don't get it working, the Great Default is always to do a factory setting restore. Reboot the chip, or what we call a 'reset'. It will take your decoder back to Address "03", remember, but if you can get it to move on "03", you know you have merely resolved a glitch and can then procede to adjust all the CV's once again.

Some more helpful information would be to say what decoder is in the loco. Maybe manufacturer and type of loco, and if the decoder was a factory instal or if you put it in.

The above is my opinion, from an active and experienced Model Railroader in N scale and HO since 1961.
(Modeling Freelance, Eastern US, HO scale, in 1962, with NCE DCC for locomotive control and a stand alone LocoNet for block detection and signals.) http://waynes-trains.com/ at home, and N scale at the Club.

For some unknown reason, decoders occasionally lose their address. I have checked the address and had it read back correctly, but when I re entered the address, the loco comes to life. It's worth a try.
I have an Atlas GP-7 ,the decoder was installed by a shop specializing in DCC installation etc. I don't know much about the decoder except that the package reads... Tsunami ( Soundtraxx) Model TSU-AT1000.
I will try the above and get back with results
