I carved a few projects and today, after the first one, I received this little jewel. I took the sensor out, cleaned it very carefully, blew it out with compressed air and put it back. I got a reading with a mirror from 0 to 150, which seemed like it was doing fine. I put in my piece of oak and it read at 21. As I moved it across the board, it fluctuated between 21 and 19. I called the tech's at LHR and they walked me through the process again to make sure I was doing things properly. I again took the sensor out, took the clear cover off and blew it out again. This time when I replaced it, all I got was 0. The numbers didn't move even with the mirror. Oops!. The tech asked me, "when you took out the sensor, did you pull on any of the wires?". Nope. LHR is sending me a new sensor out today, but the projects I was going to take back to Indiana with me are history. After replacing the "Z" pack last week, I was hoping to get some fun out of it, but it doesn't appear that's going to happen yet. I'll keep you posted on the outcome.
