Does anybody know an body that fixes oyster satellite - ite it has gone down in the wrong place and won't do anything else. I can hear the motor running when I power it up and then get error messages on the box. Could do with somebody asap in my area if possible, I think I have sold it. Thanks

Hi, this will take two people, one neads to be on the roof, slacken off the two large bolts at the base of the arm. ( the shaft is on serrations) then hold the dish while someone inside powers off the unit ,the unit should go back to it,s park position ( with the dish pointing to the rear, ) when all motors have stopped re-tighten the bolts and check it,s operation by powering up. Hope this helps

There are two microswitches under the white cover that control the rotation and elevation , would think that the cover has to come off and check these , if you take out the large bolts on the arm , the small bits of shaft will pull out allowing removal of the cover.

ok great, I will try that in the morning - do I have to take the dish completely off then?

No , just be carefull of the coax, may help if you unscrew it off the lnb to allow a bit more slack

Also perhaps take the dish off the arm ( 4 screws) may make things easier

The elevation microswitch can be seen just to the left of the small gear

Oddly enough, just last night we took Darrells Oyster apart as it had developed a massive amount of slack movement in the elevation axis.

Found the top bearing cage had actually come out of holder !
As there is actually nothing to hold it down I have a feeling it will eventually work its way out again.
If it does then I shall make a cradle stop for it...
