3051 full slide different problem

I have been following all the problems people are having with their slides, stuck out, stuck,timing off, and so on.
Well the wife comes home from a couple days at the beach with a girl friend with a new problem I have not read about.
The slide goes out about half way and stops like it is fully out. It comes back in normally and I hold the button for the 3 to 5 seconds retiming thing.
Try again it will goes back out half way and back again.
The controller show no blinking lights, just the two lights at end of travel and back home which go out in few seconds.
Tried the override procedure to see if that would help, did nothing to help.
I can not see anything in the way to cause it to stop, top or bottom, inside and out.
Anybody had this happen or any ideas of what is going on.

Which manufacturer is that slide? I read in the FRF and saw a YouTube video about having to reset the computer to zero point. If you have a Schwintek, try YouTube search for "Schwintek in wall slideout system-retiming. Couldn't set it as a link on my iPad.

It is a schwintek slide. There are 4 or 5 YouTube videos on different topics of schwintek slides.

Exclamation problem solved

It was not a timing issue. Both side moved out the same to the same distance. By looking for the places it could bind, as usual i found it in the last place I looked.
It was the rear arm on the slide cover at the top. I think this is to keep the cover tight and not unroll while driving. The one screw had come loose and allowed it to move and get caught and bend and bind. Took it off and rebent it back to shape put it back on and added another screw. There are three holes, Only one was used at the factory probably not FR but their supplier.
So if you have same problem I had here is where to look.
Thank to all for your help and suggestions.

Yes thats the one. On my 3051 there is only one screw. Saw a friends Thor Four Wind super c this last weekend. Exact same slide and cover. His came with two screws like I changed mine to.
