Need Board Sensor!!!!!!

[Digitalwoodshop]

I was able to remove the backing and cleaned the window. Guess now I need to make that metal piece like you have there and see if I can get my machine back up. I might have some thin aluminum laying around somewhere around my home.

See my first 2 pictures on the other post. The Board Sensor just sits in a slot then held by 2 screws. For your sensor, I would just hold it in place from the back with a piece of DUCT TAPE... until you need a new sensor.

Thanks Al! Your explanations help a lot.

I pulled the cable for the board sensor down trying to get a better angle to plug it in... I pulled the wire down along the track and it PINCHED the wires as seen in the last picture. When the wires got pinched, they shorted... I got a Open cover all the time and no board sensor or rubber rollers as in my case I took out the 5 volts.

I think I did this exact same thing.

What did you do to fix this??

I took the Y Truck off... Even snapped a screw as seen in the pictures.... But I wondered if I could do then butt Floss Trick... un hook the board sensor. Un hook the top plug. TUG the wire UP to dislodge the pinch. Then pull down and up, seeing if you feel it free.... Worth a try....

Air shipment of parts should be here this week. Hopefully, customs won't hold them up.

That would be nice. Customs did hold onto my sons shoes for about 3-4 days though.

Just as I took apart the old sensor and cleaned it and glued it back together, I got an email from Carvewright saying my order has shipped. Haha, go figure. i'm just going to wait the week till the part comes in to get back to carving.
