Mount won't stop slewing

[jjjnettie]

My HEQ5Pro has developed a disturbing problem. I press the key to slew to the right, and it won't stop when I take my finger off the key. It keeps slewing then stops when it wishes. It does this in every direction.
Any thoughts? Experiences?:shrug:
I'm going to reset the hand paddle to factory default. Maybe a purge will fix it up.

:lol: That did the trick.
The mount is working fine now.
Had a similar problem with the Mini Tower once and fixed it the same way.
Time to get stuck into it now. :)

Phew – that’s good news indeed! No need for the soldering iron eh!

Both my heq5 and eq6 have done that at times, must be a software bug. I found a power reset fixed mine. The eq6 will sometimes just stop tracking and you have to turn it on manually? You get what ya pay for I guess :D

You'd do the same with your pc if it was starting to misbehave. A reboot will usually fix it, if it's really bad a format.
LOL pity it didn't fix my guiding problems too.

The mount for my C8N-GT did this on occasion. I would slew to something and it would keep going until it either hit the stop or I pressed an arrow key. A reboot would fix it. The CGE, however, hasn't done this...however it did get confused once when I put the Dec in the RA and the RA in the Dec....:sadeyes: Now that was confusing!
