Need help for a nonresponsive HO-Scale GP38-2 DCC On Board

[steveeusd]

Hello-

My GP38-2 (DDC On Board) worked for 10 minutes on a test track, using Bachmann's Easy Command system.  Then, it just died.  I used different addresses, cleaned the track and wheels, checked all contacts, etc.  Nothing.  I even used DC power - Nothing.  I tried removing the shell to check out wires connections, etc., but I was unsuccessful. 

Before I send the loco back to Bachmann or just cut my losses and buy another one from Trainworld for $40, I would like to hear if anyone else has experienced this?           

Thanks,

Steve
