error code *2

been getting a error code on general instruments 2400r. now i think i might have pin pointed my problem. first off i wanted to know if power will flow from power supply box to switch even if i push buttons on switch by hand. if so the dish still doesnt move. i have checked all wires many times so i know it isnt that, any thoughts would be great. thanks guys

Error code *2 = No return pulse from Actuator. Try this: Move antenna away from limit. Reset limit EL or WL. other solution Check antenna installation and actuator. ( From manual )

And you should be able to move it from or with the receiver...

well guys i would like to say thank you for all your help. i got my c band working again and am very happy once again. i was in the local thrift store and found a new power supply for only $5.00 and hooked it up this morning and my dish is moving once again. man i love my bud, they will never make anything this good ever again. old tecnology is always the best wouldnt you say. thanks again guys and have a great bud day, he he he:up
