Hi All

I have a Celestron Advance Series GT mount.
I had problems that the mount wasn't powering. After some helpful suggestions the mount is now powering up.

While testing the mount, all seem to be going ok, until i noticed that the handset was displaying "odd" charaters , corrupted messages, or sometimes the display was blank. Pressing the keys can cause changes to what is being displayed. The handset otherwise appears to work ok , as well as the menu options.

The mount does appear to slew ok. I didn't notice the motors the struggling or making strange sounds under a load.

Any suggestons?

Brendan

;) Hi Brendon , if possible I would delete the software in the HC by loging onto Celestron's website and down loading the latest software . This usually fixes problems like this . :thumbsup:.
Have a go it aint hard , as I did this just reciently with my Ioptron HC , ( 8406 to 8409 update , took 30 miniutes ) ;) they talked me thru the process,
Brian.
