Sky-Watcher EQ3 Pro Not working

Hi Guys,


I recently purchased a used EQ3 Pro, it worked perfectly for 3 sessions and then started having issues with the RA motor, it was jittering and not slewing at low speed but did slew on rates above 7. To make things worse, it would only slew in one direction at higher speeds... I removed the stepper motor and swapped it with the dec motor to check if it was a stepper motor issue.
After fitting the Dec motor in place of the RA it did the same thing.
I opened the Synscan controller and inspected it and found this on the control board? Has anyone come across such an issue before?

Does anyone have a Synscan handcontoller i can borrow to troubleshoot my rig?
I'm in Roxburgh Park, Melbourne.
Any help would be much appreciated,
Thank you!
