Hello everyone,
I would like to thank you in advance for any assistance provided. I have read numerous forum posts about similar issues and have already tried numerous solutions provided in those forum posts which I will detail to help save time, perhaps this can become a master list of this issue when it comes to this particular laser engraver as from what I have seen this is a common issue.

I have a brand new Creality CR- Laser Falcon (10W) which had worked initially but had difficulty connecting to my computer. It still on occasion has difficulty connecting or will restart itself and enter into a sort of loop where it turns on, beeps once, then turns off. I then updated it to the latest firmware and ensured I had the proper drivers installed on my computer and this problem still happens occasionally, but not as often. The firmware I currently have installed on the laser engraver itself is (CR-Laser Falcon User CV-30-Firmware_V3.0.24). From what I can tell this is the latest firmware for this device.
The primary issue is that I cannot get the laser to engrave or cut anything, regardless of the power and speed settings in Lightburn. The engraver will connect to Lightburn, frame a rectangle or text I put in, and turn the laser on and run the rectangle but the laser won’t engrave or cut. I have tried this on both 100 and 80 percent power with speeds of 5,000 mm/m, 3,000 mm/m and 600 mm/m. I have checked to make sure it is properly on mm/m and not mm/s.
I have also checked the $110 and 111 values and they are each set to 10,000. I have also checked the $30 and $32 values and they are at 1,000 and 1. The value of 1,000 matches Lightburn’s device settings. I have tried changing them both to 255 just to try that and it made no difference.
The laser comes with a focusing ramp thing and I have that set properly and have moved it both up and down from that point and it appears to get less focused when going away from the suggested height so I believe the laser is properly focused (at least what I am able to do from outside the laser module).
Thank you for taking the time to read into this and thank you in advance for any suggestions!
