Hey folks,i have the Dynamis System,and i have a problem with it.When i switch on the handset,it doesn't stay on the locomotive i have selected,it just starts jumping from one engine to the other.I cannot control it,i have tried putting new batteries in the handset,reset everthing back to the factory settings,and that doesn't work ...can you help?
Is a button or joystick stuck?
Hello,it is a joystick.
sorry misread your question,no it's not stuck,everthing moves freely,it just keeps changing from one screen to the other.
I suspect ABC was asking if the joystick was electrically stuck. Let me explain. When you move the joystick up, it closes a switch. When you move it back to centre, the switch is supposed to open. If it does not, that switch is electrically stuck and the action it is supposed to cause may continue indefinitely. The joystick does not have to be mechanically stuck for this to happen. This was a common problem in some early video games.
