Here is the place to talk about all those equipment(Telescope, Mounts, Eyepieces, etc...) you have. Not sure which scope/eyepiece is best for you? Trash it out here!

Meade Autostar BIOS corrupted

Post by joshlee »

So I started up the autostar as per normal and the led display flashed weird symbols and trash letters. I did a search online and realised it was a result of corrupted BIOS. Any ideas how to solve that problem? Thanks! :)

Bro, sorry to hear that. Not sure how to do it but you can try asking on this website

www.weasner.com/etx/

It contains a wealth of info on ETX and Autostar...my favourite when I used to own the ETX105. While its for ETX, the autostar should be similar.
