Meade DSI II Struggles

I recently bought a Meade DSI II on Astromart and I am struggling mightily to make it work. I get everything set like the instrucional videos show and my object is blown out white. When I scroll down the autoexposure times to about .0020 it starts to look a lot better but I obviously can't take that short of exposure. Any wisdom you could impart would be much appreciated!

A peculiarty of these cameras is that "blown out white" indicates UNDEREXPOSURE.

Thanks for the ideas. My problem was a loose nut in the operator.
I didn't know you could take exposures without the long exposure box being checked.
Even after knowing this and going back and listening to the instructional videos again,
I still can't pick this up. Anyway with shorter exposures I have pictues of Jupiter!
