Skywatcher AZEQ6GT slewing issue

[Geordie mc]

Hi everyone. My AZEQ6 mount has started having an issue when slewing. If I slew in R.A. it’s fine. A If Islew in Dec it’s fine. But if I try R.A. and Dec together get an awe full noise and one axis stops moving. If I start with R.A. and then start the Dec the R.A. stops. If I start in Dec and then add R.A. the Dec stops. It does it even when the mount has no load on it. I’ve tried adjusting the backlash on each axis but it’s still doing it. Any advice on addressing this would be very much appreciated. The mount is about 6 years old and worked fine last season. Thank you.

Try with another power supply? Sounds like the motors are skipping steps under load.

Thanks. I was using the same power supply as before which gave no issues. Justgone and got another one to try and it may have solved things. No idea why the old supply wasn’t doing its job. Just need to load up the scope etc and retry. Fingers crossed it works. Huge thanks for the help.
