Yeah, I also thought of the potential for a cracked circuit board. Trouble is, I don't have enough pictures to really know where to look and the camera is still under warranty and I'm reticent to open it up. The socket on the camera is not bent, it just rocks from side to side.



I can either send it back to ZWO, as I bought direct, or I could find someone here.


Does anybody know of a competent tech?
