Subject: [M]: Damaged LX-200


All,

I made a terrible mistake recently and left my LX-200 "on" and tracking
Mars after I left my small observatory. I discovered the problem three
days later with the scope strangled by the Dec controll cord.

I replaced the fuse going to the transformer and now the telescope gets
power. But the hand-controller says Meade only and I can't get the scope
to do anything.

Any ideas besides sending it back to Meade?

Sounds as if you have the same problem I had when I did a similar thing the
DC drive motor is dead.The software halts in its startup procedure if it can
not get any pulses from the motor speed chopper on the motor shaft.
