Knite The #497 will control the ETX-80. You will want version 4.3Eg in its software.

Since your current handset is not even showing anything on the display, it is probably the handset

that has failed. HOWEVER, there could be a problem in the ETX-80 base that is preventing

proper power or communications with the handset. The only way to test that is with another

controller or another telescope. As to why it could have failed, any number of culprits could have

done it. Cosmic rays (seriously), shipping damage, random component failure, bad batteries,

manufacturing defect.

Knite If you have the #506 serial cable and a connector known to work reliably with the

AutoStar (see the article "AutoStar and USB" on the Helpful Information: AutoStar Info page),

you can determine if the Meade AutoStar Update Application (or AutoStar Suite) can see the

AutoStar. However, there is no user-installable update to fix corrupted software in the #494.
