Hi guys

Last night I got the scope out, after bringing it home from Nambucca on Friday.

I plugged the hand controller of my EQ6 in, turned on the mount, and the "Initializing..." message went for longer than normal, then it beeped twice with the message "No comm or no connection".

It wouldn't track, although if I set the rate it would sometimes still slew. But it's pretty much dead.

I unplugged and plugged it back in several times, no joy. Checked the connections, it all appears ok.

Has anyone had this problem before? Is it the cable, or the socket on the mount, or the hand controller?

The hand controller version is 2.05a if it helps.

Please help!
