    Recently I unboxed SBIG package and attach Filter Wheel, autoguider, Camera cables as instructed in Manual. I re-installed CCD Ops software, SBIG drivers 20190318_203742.jpg 20190318_204138.jpg 20190318_220655.jpg 20190317_110236.jpg 20190318_203742.jpg 20190318_204138.jpg also but Filter Wheel is dead silent, when I try to use it gives attached Error shots. Is it software problem or hardware, I also want to mention here that it dropped on the floor and hit the ground from an edge, Camera is working fine, autoguider is responding but filter wheel is dead silent.

    Did you happen to connect the filter wheel to the camera after the camera was already powered?

    Every camera ships out with a highly visible warning label:
