NO MAGNIFICATION ON MY MEAD LX 255 - Meade LX200GPS Telescope

This question has come up on Fixya before and the issue was the file format as the poster was trying to upload as a .PNG image.

See page 277 of the Owner's Manual for EX and above trims (or page 255 for LX trims). Below is basically what you need:

Requirements:

1. JPEG and/or BMP images.
2. Max dimension per image is 1920 x 936 pixels.
3. Max file size per image is 2 megabytes.

Importing:

1. Load up the images on a USB drive.
2. images must be at the root level of the USB drive.
3. Connect the USB drive to your USB port.
4. Select the clock on the touch screen (upper right hand corner), then select Settings.
5. Follow the menus for importing wallpapers (up to 5 for EX and above, or 255 for LX trims).

Put all the ingredients in a glass carboy, shake it all up then place an airlock on top and sit in a dark cupboard for a coupla weeks, strain and drink.
Always drink in moderation...

most likely its the drive belt.

You have a defective ignation coil. When the engine gets hot, the winding in the coil opens and the engine stops. After it cools down, it will again make contact and start again. If you don't know where the coil is, follow the wire from the spark plug. The spark plug wire is attached to the coil from the factory. It's easy to replace with a 1/4 inch socket set. Set the magnet to coil gap with a standard business card.

You will never be able to use the 3X barlow which TRIPLES the magnification of any eyepiece-- it's just too much for such a small scope. All astronomical telescopes have upside down images--- there is no up or down in space.
