I have a 4 year old Pinnacle Mercury 25 laser engraver. Turning it on today, the Z platform lowered and then the machine just stopped, being stuck on Initializing Please Wait. When I turn the machine off and on again, nothing moves, just stuck on the Initializing message and the Z platform is all the way down. Any advice?

Check your focus probe isnt stuck
Manually wind the table up a bit and try again , there is a limit switch it hits to stop it bottoming , check it if it bottoms and hangs? Check all the limit switches to see they click etc

Boot up in diagnostic mode by pressing the Start/Stop & Pause keys simultaneously while powering on (after winding the table up a bit.)
Diag mode wont activate the Z axis boot up , only X and Y will work, run thru the diagnostics to see if everything works , let us know

THanks for the suggestion. How do you wind up the table again?

I think you need to try turn the the belt under the table by hand , open he front cover..havent had a mercury for a long time now so I am rusty.
I can send you a mercury maintence manual if you want? I got one one my Hd's
I also have some other mercury stuff - will send it too

97.2 % chance the focus probe is dirty and stuck-clean it
