Phd2 stopped working

Does anyone have any idea why all of a sudden PHd2 has decided it doesn't want to guide my Eq6-r?  It worked fine last week, the only changes I made were putting the guide scope up top to help balance, adding a focuser & I rolled APT to its newest edition. PA I assume was spot on as I use sharpcap & unguided it would take 1 min subs @ 670mm with no trailing  (she's heavy @ around 13kg) with phd2 it would trail !
Watching the target in phd2 it seems to drift off one way, usually diagonally.

Thanks

Did you recalibrate after moving the guidescope? 

No, actually I didnt, & I also rotated the guide camera, didn't realise this made a difference.
