It probably messed up the CGX firmware. Note that one can instruct CFM to update ONLY the hand-control, preventing it from messing up other stuff! I think there were instructions around here for someone else who did the same thing -- need to use MCUpdate.exe to re-install the mount firm...
Hi, I have just started astronomy and is thinking of getting the CGX mount for my C9.25. However, I live near the equator and wonder if anyone has any idea if I can correct the mount for zero latitude use? Clear sky always! #383 fgraus Vostok 1 Posts:189 Joined:12 Feb 2013 Loc:K...
My CGEM-DX also does this on occasion. I'm wondering if it had something to do with the factory backlash settings they programmed in my default in the recent firmware update. There was a definite change in acoustics from the motors after the last update. ...

What I do now is periodically review the 'firmware history' file on the Celestron support site. This always describes the reason for the latest firmware update. If it is (say) for 'Korean Language Support'; or 'bug fix for Skywatcher mounts' or 'CGX support' or anything else not directly...
Same here...I have owned my CPC for 9 years. I have never had a reason to update firmware. That's fair enough with older models where you are not using Starsense or other external accessory and possibly stuck with serial ports and Windows 7. But if you are using Windows 10 and have...
Both good threads, thanks! The difference here is I have one good hand controller and one misbehaving one. So the mount, cords, drivers, power, CFM, camera, etc all work fine with the good HC. I think the bad HC would also start working if I could update it's firmware somehow. ...
