My LX200R (I brought it from the northern hemisphere, and then reinstalled the 4G software) has long been resistant to acknowledging that I am in the southern hemisphere. However two days ago it would not even allow me to do a normal two star alignment to reorient it so that I could observe.When I selected a star, it immediately started pointing downward. When I hit the keypad to stop it from continuing, it immediately chose another star and slewed again. I could not get it to break this pattern other than by turning off the machine. Does this suggest the software has become corrupt? If so how do I go about reinstalling? The Meade website does not appear to have any instructions or thoughts on the matter. If someone is familiar with the situation, and would like to give me a call at (07) 5498 1364, I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss the situation and possible solutions.

Thanks
