The scope just syas GPS fix and keeps trying all night long if you let it.
Does anyone know how to test these ? or know how to access / dismantle the parts to check the connections of the cables etc.
Any help would be appreciated .

This is a problem I had with my GPS on the LX200 quite a few times.
If you don't get a fix before the window on the controller is half full of stars, you won't get a fix. I found that if I left it running like you have I never got a fix.
When this happened I just turned off and started again. Got a fix this time within 5 stars 90% of the time. If it didn't get a fix again turn off and start again. I never had to do this more than once.
My LX200 was in the observatory and the roof shut.
