SM3D12 problems

I have had problems with this motor since I baught it last year.

Most of the time when you connect it to a receiver it won't move.

When you push the buttons on the motor to make it move you hear a little tiny click and that's all.

I want to use it with my skystar 2 PCI card. And it has worked with it in the past. but now it does nothing.

To test it I've tried about 6 different recievers and it still just makes that little click noise but won't move.

Is it not getting enough juice. How can I isolate the problem?

Thanks,

Rick

~ Connect it to the receiver using a shorter coaxial cable.
~ Use DiSEqC 1.2 and disable all limits
~ Use DiSEqC 1.2 and send it to "0" reference (or goto to "0")
~ The motor should rotate all the way to hte EASY and should get back to 0 position. If that happens, now your motor is re-calibrated and should be as good as new.

If that does not solve the problem, then the motor may have a defect.
