I’ve just got my Sculpfun S9 and tried a few cuts and engravings, it all worked just fine. Then suddently the laser stopped working? Everything is moving as it should and the green light on top is turning on as it should, but laser beam is not present, it doesnt turn on at all now. I’ve tried cleaning the lens with isopropyl and connecting red laser cable directly to 5V socket on motherboard, both without any success. Is it dead? What else could i try? Thanks in advance!
Does it come on with fire button?
Is there another led on laser for PWM? Usually you have a power led and a activity led.
I would check the signal wire/PWM for a bad connection.
No, fire button doesnt do anything as well. Orange power-on light is on as well as the green laser-on, indicating it is triggering the laser beam but it just does not work as it should, leaving the laser turned off permanently. Both activity and power led are turned on when i start a job.
Uh oh. Sounds like what happened when I burned out my first Atomstack. But I had already been using it for quite a while and running it at 100% way too much.
You say ‘just’ got it. Soon enough to still be in warranty? I would try that while I still could.
Sorry to hear it, best of luck.
Yeah it is in warranty, already wrote to cafago.com and directly to sculpfun as well, due to different timezones i have to wait for response a lot but yeah, thanks!
