After ringing BINTEL this morning it seems I mis-understood. I knew they had ordered in a new front panel to fix a problem intermittent fault in the front panel, but I didn't realise the symptoms were similar. Apparently the main board is definitely fine and it's just the new front panel. The front panel is on order from Meade, who knows how long it'll be.
So in the mean time I think it works enough (tracks in RA and has goto) for me to refine my polar alignment and perhaps do some planetary imaging with the webcam.
If it is just the front panel I have to change when it arrives, then at least I won't have to move the scope on the pier, so my alignment in the mean time will be worthwhile.
