Hi Steve, Thanks for the info but I have got rid my Tal, but will pass the info onto a close friend who has a 200K and has modified it but does not do a lot of imaging. Regards George

Hi All Sorry for the late reply and thank you all for giving your suggestions I have now purchased a new motherboard and fitted it, as you have to take the motors out to get at the two retaining screws I thought I might aswell do the town belt drive mod while replacing the board and I am glad to say it is one of the best things to do with this mount as I can hardly hear the motors and there is little or no backlash, I did read all the suggestions and they were what made me do the project. Thank you George

HI I need some quick advice on the following what is the best method of replacing the motherboard on my HEQ5 Pro mount, a few nights ago I had the following message displayed on my Hand controller Caution " no response on both axes " which when I looked on the net meant that the motherboard had gone faulty, so I have to replace it but to do this it looks like I will have to take out the two motors, can anybody tell me if this is the case or has anyone done this before. George
