Both dec and RA went off to about +/- 12" and the stay there. Sometimes it brings it back for a short while and then it blows back out to +/- 12" but most of the time it doesn't manage to bring it back.

You need 13 volts to run an NEQ6 ....12 volts is often not enough, I had the same problem.
Really? I'm powering it from a powertech power bank and a 12v 5a power supply - because I'm also charging my laptop from it.

Should I use a 15v supply like this one maybe?
