I am in Australia. While trying to do auto align, the Elevation drive stopped functioning after a few tries. I have Googled all the solutions and checked motor, gears, worm drive, wiring, all appear OK. Azimuth works fine. No fault shown on Hbx, just doesn't move in Elv. Total silence. Using PC connection, can slew in Az, but no motion in Alev.

I removed the OTA with ease and the Alt assy looks fine, nothing broken. Also verified no motor motion when tried to slew from PC.
