Sticky motor key on Synscan controller

Hi gang, need some help please.

The handcontroller on my EQ6 is playing up intermittently.

Sometimes when doing star alignment, the RA buttons won't release the drive motor. The star keeps moving until pressing the opposite direction key, then the star moves in the opposite direction but won't stop! I've tried changing rates, pressing esc. to no avail.

The only fix seems to be to switch off the mount, re-initialize and start over, which usually, but not always works.

It's a bit frustrating and time wasting, so...Any suggestions?

Cheers
Andy
