We have several lane changers that are dead and trying to fix. Looking for replacement circuit boards. Anyone else had this problem and know where to get replacement boards? Doubt if Carrera offers them . Is there a way to test the solenoids to make sure that is not the culprit. Pretty sure it is the boards going bad but maybe it is the solenoids . Checked all wiring and mechanics are good. Any ideas??

The boards aren't available separately. At least, I've never seen them offered anywhere.
My (6) LCs are now all over 10 years old, and I haven't had one actually fail yet. Not that it couldn't happen, but I'm a bit surprised by you having several failures.
Just out of curiosity, have you tested them when connected directly to the CU?

Thanks Bruce,
Yea we tried right next to CU . No Luck. We have had 3 (out of 10) go bad in like 7 years so not too bad . They either make a buzzing sound or they just dont work anymore. We use the bad ones to go from oval to road course and just manually flip the gate to choose road or oval.
