can always consider bringing it to Albert from Astro Science and see if he can do anything....his repairs are not cheap but at least you get a warranty for the repair in singapore...

but before that, have you tried checking if its a contact or power problem?

Hi,
Just take the motor out and replace the motor lor. I don't think celestron make their own motor and you should be able to find a suitable one in the electronics market.

Have a nice day.

If you are technically inclined, can try looking for a spare in Sim Lim Tower...
either bring the sample there or note the part number...
