Top 20 Meade ETX90AT Maksutov Telescope with UHTC (cat35140321) - Page 2 Questions & Answers

I recommend you check with Meade support. You can contact them online at http://www.meade.com/support/contact/

Need more information- several Meade scopes have a flip mirror like the ETX 90 for example. Usually it is in the position to use with an eyepiece. However it can be flipped so the rear port can be used on the telescope. Hope that helps. There is a known issue with these old flip mirrors- the adhesive holding the mirror can fail. You must disassemble the scope and apply new adhesive to hold the mirror in place.

Just as it says - contact Meade tech support. You can contact then online at http://www.meade.com/support/contact/

Letting any electronic device set is the hardest thing you can do to it. However, most electronic devices will regain their functions if you leave them powered up long enough. It make take a while but it will probaby eventually start working again. Be sure and check any battery terminals for acid build up and clean them good. Hopefully it will come alive again Col.

You may try a camera store to see if they may know where someone might look or send an email to the Contact us link on their site.

Try going in on google or what ever you use and type your model and part number you will find dealers for device and parts...Also if you know hiw go into EBAY and just type your model in the search window ..it will give you everything on EBAY protaining to your model.. Good luck..

I'm assuming you will change these ICs yourself and that's why you're asking. If you have access to the circuit board, then you should be able to find some numbers on the IC which you think is blown. If you can pull that IC and look at it's underside you may be able to find a number you can search on the internet for. Or you can find a number on the circuit board itself and maybe find the company that made that board and contact them to find out the IC you need. You can probably find an IC match as long as the pins are in the same order and the voltages are the same. Good luck!

I actually have the same series as you and I am missing a cord its the aux cord it says and its the shape as a land line phone outlet just bigger but I looked at my local Kmart,radio shak They looked at me like I was crazy lol

contact meade

try eBay our astronomy user groups or Google or Meade or fix it yourself.

The telescope does not use a battery, only the optional motor drive uses batteries and they fit in the motor drive.

I had this problem after a repair and was told to unconnect all boards and then reconnect them. Amazingly it worked and is worth a try. If this does not cure your "runaway dec" , call Tony Castanza at the Astronomy Shoppe in NH. He fixed my LX200 and may have some suggestions. If your Dec motor resistors need tuning I'm guessing he can do it.

get a new one.

Try to identify your scope herehttp://www.meade.com/product_guide.phpthen get a manual from herehttp://www.meade.com/manuals/index.html

Remmy Moore is a self-profitting spammer. Do not follow his advice.

This should do ithttp://www.meade.com/manuals/TelescopeManuals/Reflectors/Meade4500.pdf

The whole unit is a "scope". What you mean is the objective lens to the eyepiece lens. Usually the wide end is pointed at the object or scantily clad person that you wish to view, and your eye is placed near the small diameter lens at the other end. If you have it reversed, it will work as a microscope.

All manuals can be found at the following location:http://www.meade.com/manuals/index.html There is no Saturn model, as far as I can tell from looking at many websites, but there is a Jupiter model that is likely the same one.Hope this helps.
