I have an early (20 year old) MTH DCS which has worked awkwardly but nice. Over the last year the remote does not turn on easily and now fails to turn on at all. It is not a battery issue as I have opened the unit and measure 6.3 Volts at the board.
Any suggestions? Does anyone repair these? The TIU operates perfectly. If this system is so obsolete that it’s not serviceable what are the alternatives to operate 2 Proto 2 MTH loco systems on the same track?
Thank you in advance.
Bill

If the remote is dead, can you download the app?
This is one of the main reasons I left DCS for other open DCC in Blunami.

You would need the WIU to use the APP. I use the app and have had no issues with it. Though I haven't upgraded to the latest version that I hear may have some issues.

Copy & Paste from MTH Dec 27,2023 Newsletter
DCS WiFi TIU PRODUCTION SCHEDULE
The long-awaited DCS WiFi TIU will finally enter production in 2024. Like many electronic devices, from televisions, computers, cameras, appliances, and automobiles, the release of the DCS WiFi TIU was severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Global component shortages and significant disruptions to the engineering and design work pushed the hardware back nearly two years from M.T.H.'s original delivery estimation.
Over the coming months, more details about the new features found in the DCS WTIU and 2024 DCS App will be announced. Subscribers to the MTH E-Newsletters will automatically receive those updates as they are published.
The new 2024 apps will be released when the DCS WiFi TIU (WTIU) hits store shelves next Summer and IS REQUIRED for phone and tablet control of the DCS WiFi
I have my WTIU on PRE-Order
But i am sending my remote and TIU in for repair because
these promises don't look favorable to me.
I tried the DCS EXPLORER to get me thru Christmas but it is severely limited.

Unfortunately, a couple of bugs, including one that affects the creation of lashups, have been identified in the just-released iOS version that will necessitate a subsequent revision early next month. iOS users may not want to update their app (if they don't have auto-update enabled) until the revision is released in January.

I forgot about the forthcoming combine TIU/WIU. It was supposed to come out like 3 years ago.
If my tiu breaks I will just run conventional.
