Just last month at astro camp I was going over a scope with a guy having problems and he had the month and date reversed. He's seen it 4 times, another user of the mount had been through it with him 3 of 4 times and I went past it twice before he twigged and we only got it because I recited the values out loud. It was one of those combinations of similar numbers that just tricks the mind.
I'd start with the simple things as these mounts are pretty bullet proof.

Thanks for the tips KG8. I will go back through all the setting when I get the scope out again.
