Hello Feng

    Since the system has been in storage a long time, I suspect the system may be misconfigured.   I'm going to make the assumption that the system is running ver 5 software.  If that's true please click in the DI logo and choose Select  Microscope from the pop-up menu.  You will see any number of microscope configurations.  There may be only one.  Highlight the configuration that matches the D3000 and click the Edit button.   Maks sure that the controller type and extender types match the model that is actually connected.  If you don't have a phase extender of any type connected, then select none as the appropriate choice.   Next, click the serial button.   You would typically have two serial connections for a D3000.   The standard connections would be COM1 trackball and COM2 serial stage.   If this is not the way they are set, that's not necessarily critical.  What is critical is that both these functions are assigned to some serial ports, and that the cables are connected to match the settings in software.  

    If you are using some different version of software, or are uncertain what your actural hardware configuration is, pleas feel free to give me a call at 805-967-2700 x 2648
