Just after Christmas I bought a Celestron Nexstar 102 SLT as a grab and go scope. With all the clouds I've hardly been able to use it!

Anyway, that's not the issue. Yesterday I decided to take the scope out and have a look at the sun, using the Baader filter which I made. When I turned on the scope, I got "BOOT LOADER Invalid Pkg: 0080" and the hand controller will no longer respond at all. I've only ever powered the scope with a genuine Celestron PowerTank, apart from once when I tried it with alkaline AAs in the base.

I sent an email to the store where I bought the scope, so I'll see what they say, but since then I wondered if there's an easier way. Is there, perhaps, someone in Canberra with the correct cables who can help me flash the firmware in my HC? I have the latest HC with what I think is the latest firmware (NXS 5.21.2064), but I wonder if it might fix my issue by just flashing the same version over the top.

I'll see what the shop says, but does anybody have any other ideas?
