QUOTE (Cpt Jack Sparrow @ 28 Oct 2008, 10:20) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Third was just down right stupid
Plugged my programme track into the 17v dc output on the controller
That in itself wouldn't damage a decoder, if it really is only 17V and not a badly regulated output that rises a lot higher with no load. After all, many decoders are designed to run on DC and some DCC systems use voltages as high and higher than that.
There must be some other underlying problem.
