I got up to find the OTA in a stange position pointing straight down.
The scope wont slew down now and after futher investigations the cicuit board near the dec motor has chips that are blackened and smell burnt out.

Bryan,

Oops! not good. I'm not sure the board is user replaceable. If I were you I would contact Meade directly or a Meade dealer and see if you will need to send the scope in for repair.
