Nexstar Plus controller died

Posted By Don Dordevski

I have had a CPC1100 for several months now that I bought used and all has worked well for me. While using the scope two nights ago everything went dark on the Nexstar controller. The power light on the on/off switch was also dark. Thinking somehow a fuse was blown I went to the outlet on the house and the green light was on the plug so nothing was tripped.

I went back to the scope and unplugged the Nexstar controller and the power light on the mount came back on. I plugged the Nexstar back in and the power light went off on the mount again. I tried the AUX1 and AUX2 plugs and the same thing. I know all these three are tied after talking to Celestron support so the problem may be there. The rep felt that it was not the controller but thought the Aux & HC board would need replacing.

Has anyone experienced the same issue? I'd hate to go about the costly way and start changing parts but at this point I may not have much of a choice. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks

Don

not receiving classified ads emails

Posted By Don Dordevski

I have not been receiving notifications for a few days now maybe a week and really see no reason or change.  I've been on here for about 6 years with the same address and see no reason for it on my end.  Will research further but do not see any block from my end or my provider which is Spectrum.

Some help please on Astromart's end?  I hate missing out on great deals smile

thanks

"Whoops something went wrong" when sending a message

Posted By Don Dordevski

I had the same send error and nothing went out.  Now I can send messages but no responses so not sure they are getting through.  Added to this I no longer get notifications through email using a Gmail account.  Basically cannot communicate, buy or sell so pretty much dead in the water here.  Any help would be apprecaited.

"Whoops something went wrong" when sending a message

Posted By Don Dordevski

Tried multiple ways of sending messages through AMart with no luck.  Nothing seems to be getting through.  I'm not sure what is going on with AMart messaging but its totally dead for me as are the notifications.  Anyone at AMart know what is happening?  is the whole messaging system down or just sporadically affect some people?  Anyone else still struggling with the communications and notifications on here?

back to working fine late this morning.  Thankfully whatever was wrong was corrected. Messaging and notifications back to normal.
