Unhappy Help! LX200 strange behaviour

My faithful LX200 is having problems.

I just turned it on for the first time in a couple of weeks and find the following:
  • Powers up normally.
  • Computer connects to LX200 normally.
  • Tell the LX200 to slew to an object and it will.
  • RA tracks normally.
However! This is where the good news ends.

No matter how much, in what speed, I tell the telescope to move (using N/S/E/W keys, or similar motion controls in TheSky on the computer), it doesn't move!

It's strange!

I'm very concerned, partially because this week my internet router strangely died - the ADSL port worked but the LAN ports died. While the LX200 is on a fully filtered & surge protected UPS I am concerned something has fried part of it.

Any ideas to help diagnose the problem?

Thankyou for any help.
