My SB Paramount MX has been packed up in its shipping box for the last two and a half years since my relocation to Laos. I unpacked it today and set up on a bench. Everything appears OK.
I powered it up with just the hand controller attached, but note that activating the controller buttons does not cause the mount to move.
I then fired up the laptop with appropriate software(it worked ok when I shut it down all that time ago). It seems to connect to the mount, but when I tell it to go ‘home’ nothing happens. Neither of the motors drive, and the system freezes. (Yes the axes are unlocked).
Grateful if someone can advise if the hand control buttons activate a working mount when it is not connected to it’s control software on a pc.
If it does, I’ll have to go to the SB forum and or pull the mount apart to see if a connector has come adrift in the relocation exercise.
Thanks in advance. Brian
