I am pleased to report that my little 10" LX200 baby is back home after some repairs with Uncle Don (Whiteman). I haven't taken her outside to stretch her forks, but when I switched her on in the study for a quick check, all sounded hummingly reassuring.
Don updated the software to Version 4.0, and tidied her up generally. The corrector plate has never looked so clean! He also cleaned up a whole lot of battery acid goop from the forks.
The cause of the problems is a bit of a mystery. Don couldnt find anything electronic-wise that was wrong. I have replaced the DC adaptor, and am using the battery pack again. Seems that maybe the Dc adaptor was at fault after all, and the battery leak may have been a freak co-incidence due to a bad battery.
Looking forward to taking her out to SPSP14!!!
