I think one half the bridge rectifier in a DCC decoder may have died. The symptoms are:-
1) slow running in DCC mode in either direction. In other words it wasn't like this earlier.
2) I can read and write CVs and factory reset works
3) Only runs on one direction on DC but the motor will run at full speed.
Am I correct?
I assume that it's not a broken connection in the lead to the 8 pin plug
What went wrong? The decoder was securely fastened with no chance of shorting out. The decoder plug is in a very confined space. Could two of the leads shorted at the plug end?
