Hi all,
I've got a weird problem with my EM200 mount. I turn it on and the motors are running fine and tracking. However the hand controller does not work, I press buttons and nothing happens. I also have the Filos control box from Heiko Wilkens which works only in three directions. According to his webpage, pushing the joy stick up controls the S5 switch on the Tak controller and that one does not work. The other three are working (for now?). I am wondering what my next step should be? I was thinking of sending the mount to Art to check out along with both controllers. He replaced the CPU on the mount twice about 18 months ago. This is frustrating as Jupiter season is getting hot and heavy!
Thanks in advance.

PS, the mount is about 4 years old.
