SG2100 (motor won't move -- orange led )

[ldrumond]

Just setting up my gear for the first time. First read the faqs and posts for what seems like forever. Mounted 30" dish and motor, pointed it true south -- not at my true south sat (mistake). Hooked up my LU STB, got a green led on the motor, got the motor to move a couple of times, now it won't move.
Still have a green led, went up my tower and tried to manually reposition dish, motor doesn't budge, get orange led when I depress switch either east or west.
Anyone had this experience?

No, but you may want to re-set the motor, its done by using a paper clip the directions are in the manual, don't panic I am sure it will all work out : )

Peter it worked!! Can manually move dish -- however not getting any STB control.

May be a double dunt! You may have to do a factory reset on the box, hope not! You are sure you have the antenna set up to Motor (DiSEqC 1.2).

Yes, I've tried using the 1.2 setting which gives me east/west control via stb, (worked when I first wired the system up) then tried using the USALS setting, gotoX, nothing seems to work.

Wow, sounds like you need a factory reset, happened to me once and I reset both, so I don't know what fixed it but after I done that I have had no more problems, make sure there is no other receiver looped through as I have seen that cause conflicts because of the voltages.... I guess its a Pansat? Maybe a Pansat user can chip in!
