so, my astro group has been given a 250mm Meade ACF LX200 SCT. It worked for a bit but no longer does! The red LED illuminates on the control panel when the on/off switch is activated but the handset does not illuminate. I was advised that there is an on-board fuse but cannot locate it!!


Obviously the GPS ceased operating with the April 6th GPS 'rollover' reset and there probably won't be a patch for that out anytime soon (because its an old telescope).


Any ideas that will get it up and running again would be most appreciated.

Defork and put on an EQ mount .. the fate of most LX200s.
