Why wont my skywatcher auto-tracking mount work? At All...

Hey, I have had my MAK80 for some time. But after going through several battery packs I decided to cut the cord and solder some clips on their. For use with a 12VDC transformer or a 12V rechargable battery.

Well it worked quite reliable for a while but not any more. Although it might go on for a few seconds, or the keypad will flash repeatatly.

The RJ45, or ethernet/phone style plug is slightly damaged, as the clip that 'clicks' it in broke off and I will have to hold it or put in a position so it will stay. Although holding the plug, I'm sure that all contacts are in contact. So I cannot say this is the problem.

So does anyone have any ideas?
