no luck with the aligment process. Follow every step.....

I bought an ETX105 a year ago, and had similar problems to yourself.
1. Have you entered.... and decided whether.... you do need to accurately
level.... and start off with it pointing..... tried using a
compass....was OK
only occasionally....

You now, dinking with GoTo scopes seems like so much BS. The simple made
complex. Features we don't 'really' need just because the chip can handle
the code. Dependence on batteries and stepper motors just to move the
tube... aaaarrrgh! Tried it for a year and went back to manual, astronomy
is FUN again.
