Good to hear its back to life.
I know of several people who have reported failure of the switch itself, but i've never hit that yet. Another problem is sometimes the inbuilt switch in the 2.5mm connector jack that can be faulty.

First thing I checked. I wouldn't have been the first person to make that mistake if it was a fuse.

Ahh but too many people use a std car cigarette adapter and dont realise it also has a fuse in it. Surprising how often that is the cause :-)

On the subject of fuses, what would be the best type for the LX200?

I normally use about a 2.5amp fast blow
When i tested my scope slewing at max speed in both axes, it only draws about 1 amp, so the 2.5 is ample, and dies quickly.
If using a plugpack supply, i also try to ensure the fuse is rated well less than the output of the plugpack, just to ensure it blows.
Batteries will blow a fuse no matter what, but if yr plugpack is only rated to say 1.5Amp and you have a 5A fuse, it wont necessarily blow.
Lastly, as you have now effectively screwed up your PEC fingerprinting.
If you ever intend to do PEC training, you should reset it to zero and let it reconfigure itself for the new sensor.
