My System: Dark Box HD Rev 2008 Combo, Fortec Star Motorised Dish. Desktop Home Made Computer
Unhappy

OK, the saga continues. I'm ready to launch this system into space !!!
Tried everything to get motor working. Ended up taking it all down and as suggested used a short run of cable from receiver to motor, which didn't work at first, but then did after a couple of minutes.
Went off and on intermittently when I picked up and put down motor. Eventually it stayed on and I was able to move it the full range manually and through the receiver. Seemed to be back to normal so I thought I'd take a chance and put it all back up, and you've guessed it, it doesn't work again. Even took the receiver up into the loft and ran another run of cable to it. Again nothing.
Taken it all down again and tried the original short run of cable to it, kinda worked first time, didn't work at all this time.
So I'm guessing my brand new motor is faulty unless anybody has got any other ideas ?
