I know it sounds silly, but did you check the outlet you had it =
plugged into at home? Try a different outlet altogether.

Hi,=20

I haven't used my 10" LX200 since last December. I usually use =
smaller=20
scopes during the cold winter months. This scope is about 4 years old =
and=20
electronics were sent back to Meade for an electronic problem about 18 =

months ago. The problem was solved but I may now have a new one.=20

Yesterday, I took the scope out of storage and set it up indoors to =
insure=20
that all was okay. I used household current and the 18V DC current=20
transformer as I have done many times before. When I switched to on, =
the=20
red lamp on the console turned on momentarily then went off. I =
checked all=20
connections and tried again. The lamp does not come on.=20

To check the problem, I first removed the 1 amp fuse located behind =
the=20
power console and checked it for continuity...it's okay. I next took =
the=20
transformer to a local Radio Shack to have it checked. I am told it's =

putting out proper voltage. I also checked the in-line fuse on the =
cord=20
from the transformer as it plugs into the power console...it appears =
okay.=20

Any suggestions from anyone would be most appreciated. Thanks!=20
