    I have been watching this waiting for some of his feedback as to which way to go.... Yes, Power Supply or Connectors are susspect...

    Remember to un plug the machine before playing in the bottom of the machine.....

    I would un plug and re plug the power supply and computer connectors.... Gentle Please....

    I would also un plug the FFC Cable on both ends and inspect..... Again, Enviromental over the winter... Could Moisture have caused Corrosion on the contacts?

    Carefully, cleaned out bottom, removed all plugs and plugged back in... everything looked shiny and new with no obvious corrosion. I couldn't remove the fcc cable for some reason. Put bottom back on same results only a cleaner machine.

    When I turn on my machine, the y and z axis immediately get power and resist movement by hand. I think this is a good test as to whether they are getting power. Move the y back and forth by hand and then turn on the machine. The resistance to movement should change. If it does not change, I would say there is no power to the motors and you have a power supply problem.

    If you have a volt meter, the 24v could be tested.

    Sounds good. Let us know if it turns out to be the power supply.

    Replaced the power supply and the machine started up working fine, started carving then it stopped with a power fluctuation message, several times within a simple 14 minute carve. Where should I address my concern now.

    I would think that either some component of the machine is drawing too much power or your plug outlet is not providing enough power or you got a bad power supply.

    Try it on a different plug circuit. If it still does it, send it back for another one. What else can you do?

    I tried it on a different plug circuit than I was using for my dust collector and I still have the same problem... check your message board
