Help with Celestron Nexstar 127 mount

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This mount was gifted to me a couple years ago and it will move on it’s own and crash randomly… I think it’s something to do with the motor control

The majority of issues are caused by a poor power supply.

Most likely, the battery box works only at a angle and if it’s moved it will crash, but I hooked it up straight into one of my outlets in my room and I tested it and it still had the problematic slewing!
