Possible blown board

In the dark I accidentally plugged a wrong plug into my com port on my heq5 pro mount and shorted all the connections. It will now not communicate with the computer or the handset so i think i have blown the board. Not sure which one though or how to test it?.. There are two boards, one where all the plugs go and the main one. Can anyone help or is it just time to order a board?

Thanks. Phil.

i`d have a word with Noel i.e. Glider Phil, he does electronics and might be able to help even if it`s to say you need a new board, at least you know.


i think he`s in Wales at the moment though.

Can you drop the board with the sockets on out and take a picture of both sides and post up.

Phil,


 


John at Astrodevelopments.com repaired my EQ6 board when I did the same in October, he turned it around in about 3 days and it cost about £30 so give him a go mate..


 


Thanks
