Sick and tired of my mount.

[raymo]

As far as I know there is only one other "proper" scope in my little town, and that is a 10" Lightbridge. I checked the H/C to mount cable today,
all good. The H/C is a V.4 and less than six months old, so I tend to think
it a little unlikely to be the culprit. I'm liking Ken's suggestion from half
a dozen posts back in this thread. I'm going to unsolder the female H/C
cable socket on the power board, and see if it suffered any damage when the cable got snagged a few weeks ago. It ripped all the cable ends out
of the mount end of the cable. Luckily I have a spare cable[ which is the one I checked today].

Worth a read......

Thanks Ken, it's interesting that they don't list the features that have been deleted with the introduction of the V.4 H/C. such as ambient temp, and beep at end of slew.

Well, I found a popped capacitor on my motor control board, and
managed to install a new one, despite not really having the right tools.
The next night with enough gaps between the clouds will tell me
whether that was my problem; fingers crossed.
