Hi Guys,
First time poster so be gentle. Received my CM1290 130watt about a fortnight ago and thought it would be a fairly easy transition from my home built Joe's CNC to the laser. I expected to be making masterpieces within a day or two - just a bit out on that calculation. With the CNC it all about chip load and speed and couldn't figure out for a day or two why nothing was cutting. Got all that sorted and was happy with the way thing were progressing. Cut a few pieces but thought I could do better. As suggested on here I created a grid of 100 squares and was going to see how the machine performed with all the variable setting. I went out to cut the grid last Sunday and unfortunately this is were I came unstuck. I fired the machine up and moved the head to the center of the table so I could clean the mirrors, turned the machine off, cleaned the mirrors and turned the machine back on. Unfortunately it looks like I have a failed front panel - everything lights up as it should but the control panel is blank. I do have a new control panel and main board coming under warranty, but I was wondering if other users have had a similar problem with the electronics.
All the best
Kim
