None of this may be applicable to your mount and will require you to be down south to check unless you strip the card out and I know how impractical that is without the machine but it may help..

I have searched online for schematics and information, as you mentioned, not easy (impossible) to get though I may know a few sites, no harm in trying even if I do turn up empty handed.


And this if it shows up:

At this stage it’s only an assumption that the motor board is the culprit
I’m going to carry out more testing over the next week and if I can’t resolve the issue and a replacement motor board is not available ( which is the likely outcome ) then I might just buy a new Az Alt base unit and reuse the OTA. I think Skywatcher sell just the base unit as a replacement. I’ll talk to Graeme at Tasco about it.

Cheers
