Hi Roy,?
Sorry to hear about your issues.
I use a few different programs, operating systems, and cameras. For me there is only one caution to follow and that is to Power On first, connect USB second and then carry spare cables, but your situation does not like this.?
Here a photo or named drawing may help me, but please don¡¯t randomly swap power supplies or power leads as a wrong polarity would be catastrophic.
Because your camera will not boot, Common causes -?
- I suspect Power to the camera and more specifically the plug and socket but including the possibility of cable fracture or change in conductivity due to bending and breaking.?
- Your installation or a plugboard may have the fault - to prove it, plug a bed lamp or light load into your main source to prove you have power to the input of your power supply, leave it plugged in and then plug in your power supply and camera
- Are you running on DC or batteries, if so please send pictures.
From your history, It appears that the problem is PRE Power Supply.
Remember to turn off the Camera, wait 10 to 15 seconds before rebooting.
For me - All my DC leads and spares are Marked and Tested ?for conductivity and polarity so I can quickly exchange leads etc.?
regards
Len

My 6120 has been having intermittent power problems for a while. I¡¯ve changed power supplies it it worked for a couple of weeks. ?Just last week when connecting no lights or sounds. Tried a brand new supply and still nothing. This is in my observatory.
Picked it up today and took it home. Plugged it into my laptop connected the usb and it powered on. Even the old power supply worked. Could there be a problem with the usb port or the usb cable. I sent it to Atik a year and a half ago and they couldn¡¯t find
anything wrong with it. It¡¯s still connected to the same computer in the observatory?
Thanks, ?Roy
