Hello,
a few days ago, while operating my hx3040 on relatively high power (95%), I suddenly heard a banging noise and the laser-beam stopped working. Everything else seems alright, it's just the beam that is not operating anymore. I checked the laser tube and did not find any visual damage - but when I try to shoot a test-beam, i hear a quiet cracking noise from the right side of the tube where it is connected to the wire. The sales-rep from Rabbit suggested that the problem lies in the connection and that it may be broken - so I checked the wire and even resolderd it, but the problem is still the same.
I won't get any other help from Rabbit till monday - however, I don't want to sit around till then, so if anyone has an idea of what might be wrong - if I just need a new tube or something else - your help would be greatly appreciated!
Best regards,
Stefan
