Hello everyone! I'm a a complete beginner with telescopes, and I have one little issue with my celestron astromaster 130EQ. The DEC knob(I think, it's the one parallel with the telescope tube) is completely jammed and does not move. I've tried loosening the screw and making sure it's correctly placed, but it still wouldn't budge. On the other hand, the RA slow motion knob turns perfectly fine. The DEC knob worked well until last week, before it got stuck. Does anyone know what the issue could be?

Thanks for the replies everyone. I loosened the black knob, moved it around a bit, and then tried it again, but its still jammed. I can still move the telescope around manually in the DEC axis, but when I try to do it with the slow motion knob it won't move.
Which one is it? I'm a bit confused. Do you mean the black knobs which hold the axis in place?
