The first time I used my CS3 for an extended amount of time the screen started going black every couple minutes. I would hit.the stop button and it would turn back on to the the screen I was on and then turn back off again and would repeat this. Anybody else have this issue. The CS3 seems to have a lot of bugs.

Does it have a power saver?

Please state the firmware versions of the CS3.

There had been reports of a few funnies after the release before last which seamed to imply a couple of different variants may have made it to the wild.

If you have not done an update , I would suggest you do so.

Yes.

I have a similar problem in that after about 30 to 40 minutes of operation the power switches off completely on it's own for no reason. I have watched the current draw and it seems to maintain a constant .75 to .8 amps. I also notice that when I put a voltage meter across the track, the voltage seems to pulse and every now and again it drops considerably and sometimes the loco running will give a sudden hesitation.
I've tried changing power packs but still the same. I have upgraded to version 1.3.1 etc. Any ideas anybody?
