Lodestar weird bug

The other night I couldn't get a guiding image out of PHD2 with my Lodestar, just a bright image with some garbly digital looking signal in one corner.... I thought the CCD was toast, but pushed on with some unguided comet images.

Checking more closely today, I've changed out the cable and tried a different (known working) port on the USB hub, where it was working fine not long ago.

I also plugged the Lodestar into my inside mac laptop, installed the Starlight Live app, and the little CCD appears to be working. It certainly displays light and dark in response to a hand covering the CCD, and I even made up a pinhole, and could see a blurry image of my living room door and the house over the street.

So it appears the Lodestar is functioning, but not where I need it to.

In the obs I'm going to start with a re-install of the SX drivers and even PHD2? Any other ideas before it gets dark?
