Great. I tested it and got nothing but 0's. I guess this means I need to replace. Have any other thoughts.

Thanks,

Remove it and take a look. It might just have a build up of dust in it.

I removed it and it looks like dust under the film. I cleaned it and replaced it but still no result. Can I remove the film and try it, will that hurt my machine?

Yes that can be done but go easy. You can actually take the sensor apart and clean it.

If your under warranty, call LHR and get a replacement

Do a search on the forum for board sensor, there will be some pictures etc.

Read through this thread - here is the link - There are some photos of the board sensor there so you will have a good idea of the assembly.

I took the Sensor off and peeled the clear film off, cleaned it and tested it, IT WORKS. What can I use to cover it with? I can't get the clear film back on.

What I did was get some thin clear plastic sheeting from a craft or hobby store, cut a small rectangle and then glued it to the sensor ensuring to keep it off the LEDs

You can use it without the plastic if you have too, just means cleaning it really good after each carve.

Thanks, I got it back on. Will see if it stays. If not will use clear plastic.
