Laser Not Communicating with Computer

I had to get a replacement Mother Board for my Sculpfun S30 Pro Max 20w. When it finally arrived, I installed and turned on. The Laser Fan turned on fixing the original problem.

I then tried to cut a sample of plywood but Laser didn’t fire. A message on th computer read “No communication between Laser and computer” I tried many help sites without success. The seller now wants another video to show their technician. This process
will possibility go on for another 3 to 4 weeks. I bought the machine late August and its now late November. only used it for about 10 days. Very frustrating. I’m eldery and
not very Computer literate. Thanks Dave

Hi Dave!

First thing: connect the laser and check the Windows device manager. Does a device named “usbserial” or similar appear at the COM ports section? Note that port number.

Open LightBurn, make sure the laser is correctly setup as device and then check if the correct COM port is selected. Have a look at the console window. What messages do you get there?

Here is some guidance on software setup for Sculpfuns: Setting up the software - Diode Laser Wiki

Thankyou very much, it worked. I could never been able to do this without your help. I hope I get to help people down the track when I gain some knowledge. Have a great day.
