In the middle of a carve yesterday my machine went silent.
I thought that the carve had finished. I checked on it and the machine had quit in mid carve. No power, the LCD screen was blank power switch was on, dust collector was still running on the same outlet.
I called LHR and ran thru the check list.
1. Move z truck up/down, left/right and feel for resistance (no resistance with power off as it should be).
2. Plug memory card back in.
3. Turn power switch on.
4. Move z truck up/down, left/right and feel for resistance (still no resistance with power on) moving z truck you should feel resistance as the system/servos are energized.
No sign of power. LHR is sending a new power supply for a $40.00 core charge.
I will remove the power supply tonight and check for broken wire or cold solder joints and look for anything that does not look right.
I will post results when I have the solution.
