advice on old Meade LX200GPS
G'day folks, I recently scored an old 12' Meade LX200 GPS. It fires up but the alignment is all askew. It takes ages for the GPS to get a fix, then I have to manually put the time and date in, and then if I choose alignment stars it will go to (in daylight) but when I then go to the Moon for example it says not risen yet (which it obviously has). I then go back and check the time and date on the hand box and its 2005.
I knw these things are buggy, it came with a RJ11 cable to USB serial adaptor which I can't get to register on my PC either.
Any help or advice appreciated, else I'm going to defork it.
