40 w machine faulty ?

Post by RobertSt »

I have one of machines suddenly dropped in power.
replacing the tube and realining the mirrors has had no effect.
i suspect the psu or control circuitry to be faulty.

are there any known problems with these please ?

what is my best course of action ?

Yes, they are basically a pile of poo. You can upgrade with better controller, PSU, tube etc. but by then you might as well have bought a better machine to begin with. Depending on how old it is, you should get the PSU replaced under warranty.

Have you checked your mirror alignment properly?

hi there
like I sayd before to many people you need to tell more what kind you got what motherboard , what software etc, because there so many different machnes out there all called K40 what actually just a group for 40 W laser ( what actually is not 40W just around 30W
