JJJ, i feel your pain, i am having some minor issue to.
Have to enabled guiding in RA? i know thats a crazy thing to say, but i had this issue once, and guiding in RA was disabled.
What sort of issues are you having? is it guiding for a bit, then slipping, or will it just not guide at all?

It still doesn't seem to be guiding in RA.
The drift align was good (well, I thought it was good, no visable movement of the star, and the graph in K3 was very steady, so the mount is tracking.
I've listed where I thought the possible fault may lie.
1. PHD is not sending the mount any RA signals.
2. One of the cables connecting the autoguider to the mount or the puter is faulty.
3. There is a problem with the mounts motherboard, it's not recieving the signals from the autoguider.
I've had this mount for 3 months, and I've not been able to put it to good use yet. I'm at the end of my tether over this.
I'm this close to putting the whole kit up for sale.
It's pointless owning gear that doesn't work.
