Hello,
in case this is of any use to anyone,
My trusty old CG5 began acting weird a while back with the nexstar hand control paddle displaying gobbledygook that almost looked like Spanish (but wasn't). Totally unintelligible.
Anyways, I finally got around to tryign to fix.
I thought i'd try a firmware upgrade and that effect connected the hand control to the computer through the RS232 cable, setup the nexstar for data transfer and magically, it fixed itself !
Didn't need to do anything to the firmware.
Not sure how but connecting the hand controller to the computer instantly seemed to fix it.
Thought I'd post in case it is of use to anyone
Thought I'd post in case it helps anyo
