LX50 Problem

Was wandering if anyone in this forum could help be diagnose a problem I am having with my scope. When I turn the scope on the LED on the control panel lights up, but the clock drive will not operate, and the scope will not take any commands from the hand box. When I disconnected the five-pin from the control panel and turn it on, it boots properly when the hand box does the diagnostic check. But the DEC still does not operate. Would appreciate any reccomendations. Meade said the no longer make parts for the LX50 so I guess all of us LX50 owners are going to be left in the darksad Just to be clear the DEC doesn't work with the five-pin connected or not. Thank you.

Hi Joe,

Sounds like the board to me. I gave some to Don at Teletrade at RTMC last year. You may want to check with him.

Thanks,
John
