dead short?
Posted: Sat Aug 22, 2020 2:10 am
Hi, seems my 130 Nexstar goto early model is dying. Hookup up power, dead short,smoke and boom, blew a capacitor in power supply. Replaced capacitor on board (16V 220uf), hook up power seems ok, no smoke or anything lol. Plug in hand held unit, comes on momentarily then snap, dead short again. I am thinking this is too old to try to repair if I can even find parts.
I bought this used and I know someone was in there before but dont know what they did. Any ideas, suggestions as to best way to goÉ Anyone with similar experience?
thanks for any help.
I am leaning to a new telescope but not sure which way I should go. I have an 8 inch dobsonian on loan. I would love something portable and powerful.
