Blank (100ADU) imagesf from SBIG ST8

Hi all,

Suddenly this evening I'm receiving blank images back from the main imaging chip of my ST8-XME. The guide chip is returning normal images. The temperature control and shutter function normally.

The images returned by the main chip are blank with uniform 100ADU value after dark subtraction (0 ADU before dark subtraction).

I've:
- Tried an alternative SBIG power supply (just happen to have one!)
- Tried removing the extension power cord, going straight from supply to camera
- Checked the USB cable is properly powered and working.
- Tried different USB ports

My thinking is that this is a camera or power issue, not a USB issue.

Any ideas?



Thanks,
Roger.
