Help! Heq5 Dec drive stopped working.

Hello, 

Went out today to try some white light solar for the first time. 

Hooked everything up as usual and the dec drive wasn't working!

The RA axis is absolutely fine no issues at all. I've opened up the side and all the cogs spin around as they should when they should but the mount doesn't actually move in Dec?

I've engaged the dec clutch as I normally would. The mount hasn't been moved since the last time it worked whatsoever. With the clutch loose it spins around freely. 

Thoughts? Any help would be really appreciated :sad: .

Fixed the problem! If I was paying more attention when I took the side off I wouldn't have started this topic. 

The little black allen screws which hold the cog onto the worm shaft had undone themselves. So the cog was spinning but not moving the shaft. Tightened them up and its fine. 

A mod can deleted this topic if they would like. :smiley:
