  1. Hi,just received my CEM70 mount this week,the problem is that when i press the power button to turn the mount on it turns off again,anyone got any ideas what is wrong or will i have to return mount,thanks in advance.Sean
  2. Hi,its when i first turn on the mount it says press twice to go to switch position which is what you have to do when starting,then it just slews way past the switch position until it can go no further,but when i press the back button then press go to home it goes to the home position with no bother.When i am using celestron CPWI you have to move scope to switch.
  3. Michael,already tried it like that,still no joy. Sean.
  4. Hi Michael,i will try as you suggest when i get some clear skies.I dont think it is the encoder because i bought two new motors and even swapped them around when the RA wouldnt go to switch position,the DEC works as normal on each motor,hopefully clear skies will come along soon. Sean.
  5. Hi Dave,what happened at first was i started getting a burnlng smell coming from the mount and it started moving erratically ,i had to change the motherboard it was badly overheating,after i did that the mount wouldnt go to the switch position in RA.I recently changed both RA and DEC motors also but it didnt change anything for RA still wont go to switch position,DEC goes to proper position,mount runs off a regulated power supply,went to factory settings on hand control even bought a new hand control incase that was the problem.

  7. thanks Malcolm,i also searched Celestron and couldn't find anything,dosnt say much for the CGX if they have stopped producing them.
  8. Hi,thanks for reply' i have the mount open and checked both sides of the board but there is no sign of burning but the board gets very hot where I have arrowed in picture also the led light on power button flashes on and off, i have the mount about 5 years, might just scrap it.What do you think about the ioptron I was thinking of getting the CEM70.
  9. Hi,was wondering if anyone on SGL would know anything about motherboards.My CGX has stopped working and when I checked the motherboard there was a bit of smell the board was hot on one part which I have arrowed in picture, would anyone know where I could purchase a replacement board, searched the internet with no luck.
  10. welcome to SGL where you will get plenty of advice if you need it,clear skies.
