My ETX-60 remote turns on but immediately turns back off, ive tried new batteries but it still turns right off, the red light on the telescope stays on but the remot doesnt, any fixes?

About the only thing you can do is buy another hand controller-- contact Meade for a new one.

I am assuming the hand controller cable cannot be replaced check it anyway and see if you can get someone to replace the plastic plug that goes into the telescope on the cable. Sometime these go bad. Any "network" cable guy should be about to replace the end.

Either the buttons are STICKING on your hand controller, or the hand controller cable is defective.

Adjustment lever part is for the ETX 60AT tripod leg. Two of three are okay but the third is broken. Never been out of the box.

Contact Meade directly for any replacement parts. You might also find something at a well stocked hardware store that will also work.

Did you lock down BOTH clutches?

You should have Calibrated motors and trained drives before you actually tried to do a goto.

ETX 60 altitude doesn´t work, but motor works

You need to tighten the friction lock - it acts as a slip clutch.

60at motor fault

Could be several things:

You did Train the drives and CALIBRATED motors using the same power source you will use outside?

Do not run off of the internal batteries UNLESS they are brand new. Once the batteries drop below about 70% the hand controller goes a little crazy. That's why most people use an external power pack.

1. Replace the batteries, and do a Calibrate motors.

Did this fix it?

I have a Meade ETX 60. The internal threaded rod that focuses the telescope is broken. Can I get a replacement ? I already have this taken apart and have removed the rod.

You can call Meade, they might sell you a rod??? Usually they want you to send the scope back to them for repair.

Slew problem

You did tighten the DEC knob? If you did the altitude gears (a worm gear) is not engaing properly. You can either return it to Meade for repairs or attempt them yourself.

I would also check that you have fresh batteries and that the UP button on the hand controller is not broken.
