Dead LX200

Gday peoples
have a problem

tonight i went out to a viewing sesion, and i made up a makeshift power supply to run from the car battery, except i wired it up with wrong polarity.

The scoped turned on, but within about 10 seconds smoke started comming out of the base unit (where you switch it on)

The scope now still powers up, and the handset does its usual thing, but it comes up with an error saying "Sensor board fail"

if you 'mode' out of it, it goes into standard setup, but slew or anything else doesnt work.


Does anyone know where you can get replacement boards from??
