Trav'ler Sat dish Problem

Trying to initiate my satellite, message on control box screen says "AZ Motor Stalled"... it won't seek satellites, won't stow away, although the dish is in the down position...

"Select" and "Enter" buttons don't respond, pressing "Power" button doesn't work. Turned off Inverter for 20 minutes to try again... same result...

Any ideas?

    has your satellite dish been unused for a period of time? If so it goes to sleep and you will need to contact one of their tech people to turn it back on

    This is COMPLETELY incorrect! The Trav'ler would lock onto the satellite even if no receiver was connected.
    OP, have you tried (or been able to attempt) a Calibrate EL routine? If you are not familiar with this, see your owners manual or download the manual.
    If you are actually getting no power at all to the controller (no display lights ever) you have to fix that issue first.
