Many Thanks Malcolm for all your help you have been a wealth of information, absolutely fantastic. Yours Joanna

Thankyou Malcolm that's fantastic information. For a Skywatcher EQ3 Pro Mount , the Motor Control Unit Motherboard MC002 for EQ3 PRO GOTO requires a jumper plug in JP1 and J2 creating the bridge. JP2 is for the EQ5 PRO. Thankyou Joanna

Many thanks again Malcolm for the information. So for a Skywatcher EQ3 Pro Mount the identified file below is a match. But as the Firmware is the same anyway it should work. That's great. Thankyou Joanna Firmware: EQ3, EQ5 Pro Goto Mount, Version 2.07 Universal motor controller firmware for Skywatcher EQ3, EQ5 GOTO mounts.

Many thanks Malcolm for that most informative information. I asked because the Sky Watcher Motor Control Box for EQ5 Pro product code 20123 is relatively easy to source but replacement for an EQ3 Pro is not ? So for a Skywatcher EQ3 Pro Mount I identified the file below as matching ? Firmware: EQ3, EQ5 Pro Goto Mount, Version 2.07 Universal motor controller firmware for Skywatcher EQ3, EQ5 GOTO mounts. Many Thanks Joanna

Hi All Please could anyone advise if , a Sky Watcher Motor Control Box for EQ5 Pro product code 20123 is a direct replacement and would work with the Skywatcher EQ3 Pro Mount ? It looks identical ! Thankyou this be a direct replacement for my EQ-3 Pro Motor Control Box ? it looks identical ?

Many Thanks Peter, We have e-mailed Flo today and asked for help. Our receipt does say 2 years warranty and we only purchased on Nov 6th 2020. We await Flo's response. Thankyou Joanna.

Hi Everyone Really really hope someone can help please, plugged the usb Synscan remote into the eq3 mount control box, as per instuction's and as we have in the past. All came on perfect and we were inputting the date & time, then the controller just went off ? I decided to plug it into the computer via the usb and the buttons light up ? plug in back into the skyscanner control box and nothing, 12v power is getting to the Synscan remote as we have checked the curly cable with a volt meter at the Synscan end, but the controller won't power on ? Ive attached a picture of the regulated power supply we use at 12v. We have factory reset & re-programmed the remote via the Usb on a PC but nothing, the remote is dead when connected to the EQ3 control box. What's gone wrong we have only used the telescope three maybe four times. It was my sons Christmas gift 6 weeks ago, we purchased from Flo. Thanks for any help or advice. it
