Christmas scene in a wooden box with music, three years old. One knob to energize it and adjust volume. Displays a rotating train scene with warm Holiday scene. Changed batteries , no luck when turning on switch. No lights , no sound Something not working inside of it. No damage to be seen. No smoke smelled. Thanks, Marty
I've fixed Christmas decorations plenty of times, as I live with a Christmas Queen. The batteries might still be bad, so check them in something that works. The next thing could be the switch, or a fuse. Some fuses are not easy to see, but being battery operated, i would say there may not be a fuse. You can check the on off switch with an ohm meter, so if you don't own a multimeter, first I ask you why, then i tell you that your job just got much harder than it could be. Once you verify if the switch works ,and your batteries are good and making good connection, meaning the connections are good and clean, your next step is the motor. The motor can be tested by applying voltage to it. If the motor does not move if you put the correct battery voltage to it, you have your problem. You can try a drop of oil and moving the motor by hand, if that is possible. If you can't fix the motor, you can search for a replacement motor by knowing the voltage you need, and the physical attributes of the motor. Try All Electronics, and there are others who sell surplus parts, so it won't be so easy, but I've done it many times successfully. The key is knowing all you need to know in order to make it work the way it was, or modifying it to work with another motor. Good luck, and Merry Christmas

SOURCE: year old advent netbook 4211b will not turn on,
When you press power button press F1 or F2 or "del" key if you can see bios screen then you not need to refix RAM memory or reset bios.
IF you can see bios screen then lake sure harddisk is detected and SATA is disable then save settings and exit.
Also when you power up press F8 key if you able to see safe mode and other menu then you have change screen resolution enter in enable vga mode.
Then open control panel and display then change scree resolution to 1024*768.
Then apply and ok.
But if you can't see bios screen or nothing in dispaly then you have to refix RAM memory .
Check in back side there is 1 plate open it then refix RAM memory.
If still not get display then open back cover of laptop then find motherbord on it then pull cmos cell for 10 minutes so all settings go to defaults then again refix cmos cell then check.
Let me know if you need more assistance.
Thanks.

I was told to put a paper clip or key across both prongs that you plug into the wall. This grounds it out. Then you resync the remote with the black. It worked for me.

We struggled with this just today...finally figured out that you have to twist the small piece right behind the bell on the top of the locomotive.

I had a similar problem just after I had the train set for a couple of years. Beleive it or not what I ended up doing was I removed one brush from the tree top tender car (power). It has worked perfectly ever since for the past 5 or more years. Was almost like the power was getting crossed up or something. Good Luck I hope it works.
