Good afternoon.

I have used a cheap motek (China) bought from Germany three years ago,
due to the electrical storm last week, the motor as gone to zero,and wont budge even with inserting a pin to reset it.

The reciever is a Comag Silvercrest, working ok, so I have taken the motor off,left the reciever on Astra 28, and am(when I have time) see if the motor will turn a couple of feet from the reciever in the house,then if alls well, reinstall, I noted the motor will try to move on the manual button,or recieve a signal but no movement.

The storm was very close and knocked out the phones,but I had disconected the dish cable from the comag and pulled the mains plug,as you do,.. Any ideas>

Er yes the dish remains outside
