I did a "dummy" EASY alignment and the motors hummed and the scope went through the motions (although I have had several "Motor Failure" messages. I've done a reset and was immediately greeted by another "Motor Failure" message. Has been OK since.
It even pointed in the general direction of Venus and Mercury when asked to "GoTo", but it was mid-afternoon and I couldn't see the stars!
Typically, it has now clouded over to give 8 octas! Grrr!
Apparently it was a blown motor driver board.

=======================================================
Meade ETX105 (a nice "Grab & Go" scope) & Celestron NexStar 6SE with Bob's Knobs.
Various EP's from 6mm to 26mm, Baader Hyperion 8-24mm Zoom, a 2x Barlow, 2" diagonal and 7Ah PowerTank.
MRF and Antares 8x50 RACI finder scope - both for the 6SE's OTA, whilst the ETX gets a plain RDF.
Canon EOS 400D DSLR (un-modded) and SPC900 webcam. Finally climbing the AP Learning Curve!
