Look under 4.5 inch Reflector on Meade's manual web site:

You do not need the CD -- the software on the CD is located on Meade's web site for free download-- here:

All of Meade's manuals are on this web site:

The LX10 is VERY similar to the LX3 --- look at the LX10 manual.

Do you want to sell? you camara i need a broken lx3

A fellow by the name of Ron Sampson can repair hand controllers and main boards on Meade telescopes. He does very good work. All you need to send him are the board(s).

You can contact him by posting a message on the Yahoo LX90 or LX200 group forums.

Good luck-- by the way he repaired the hand controller for our astronomy clubs 10 inch Meade LX200, at a very reasonable cost.

This is a very old Meade SCT telescope. You can try contacting Meade customer service but I would doubt that they still have parts??

So, go to the Yahoo Groups LX200 forum and join and ask questions. Someone may have that model Meade SCT. Also there are people on the forum that can repair the circuits in the hand controller if something is blown.

Good luck.

Check the autostar controller; you may have a stuck key. The telescope should run without the control - unplug it after it starts and see if the slewing halts. (don't plug it back in while powered) The other thing, would be a bad sensor on the motor.

You probably will not find a manual for that scope. However Meade maintains a web site with all of their telescope manuals. Look under 4.5 inch REFLECTOR and find one similar to your telescope. They all work in a similar fashion.

No schematics out there for that model, although there are ones for the LX classic and GPS. The center contact is positive.
