Fiber Laser on @ 100% constantly - from the second I turn it on until I turn it off

Hi all,

I have a Gweike G2 20watt Fiber laser and I’m running Windows 11 + Lightburn 1.7(Beta) and have both 110x110 lens and 175x175 lens.

When plugged in to the power source, the laser instantaneously turns on. In case you’re unfamiliar, the G2 has one button that turns on the laser source and one that turns on the galvo/lens/framing laser. The laser source is instantly powered on upon plug in. When I twist the other switch that is for the galvo/lens/framing laser, the laser is at 100% instantly. No LB file running, nothing. I have figured out a little work around just now that is rather tedious -
if i adjust the power level in the cut/layers menu to 1%, the emitted laser source is no longer at full power and as far as I can tell is probably putting out the same or similar power as the framing laser. As soon as i run anything above 1%, however, it reverts back to being “stuck” on that power level until i can manually run an different file/frame/etc @1% - at which time is no longer gets stuck on 100%.

This is killing my productivity. Someone tell me I’m an idiot and I need to change a setting or something? It never did this when I first received the unit.
