How wide is your project? Could be a fatal error 2 or 3 that will be fixed next week.

Grasshopper.... The clue was Vacuum.... I believe you have an error caused by using the vacuum cleaner to clean the machine and the static produced by the chips flowing through the hose produce thousands of volts of computer killing power... You "May" have fried the $300.00 computer, Power Supply, and more.....

Another post please after removing the card and re formatting starting over as well as re booting the machine.... We will know more depending on what you find next.


Do a search on Static Electricity and Vacuuming the machine and find dozens of posts.... "I stopped my machine and vacuumed it out and now it is DEAD"......

Read Tips and Tricks for more things you really need to know before you plug in the machine.... But I just saw over 60 posts....

I could be wrong... and it could be the error LHR is addrressing....

Al, I tried another card and all is working well. I know I've done this before and nothiing happened. Did I just get careless this time.Also is the card I used before now waste?

Al, I see youir a very busy man today so THANK-YOU for your time. Now I reread the maint part on cleaning your machine so my question is, when the machine is unplugged, vacuming will no longer hurt the machine?

Please add a Fatal Error 4 to that, please. Same conditions cause it, Pause Machine, then Continue.

And these 2, 3, and 4 errors aren't just with Wide Boards, although with Wide Boards they are consistent.

Since the Computer and Power supply are at the bottom and the Computer is surrounded by a metal box, and in my case, the metal is grounded, how does Vacuuming the inside of the machine Zap the computer?

This brings up another good question.....should I ground the machine also? Looking forward to answers on some of my dumb questions.
THANKS ALL

I have a ground wire from outlet screw to 1 of the screws holding down the traction belt on far side of machine. 14 gauge bare copper wire.

I question I was thinking, what's the difference between vacuuming and dust collection as far as static is concerned? Don't they both draw sawdust through a plastic fitting/hose?
