Help My Laser is down for the count.

[Roy Haney]

This morning I tried to load a file and found that the memory was full. I deleated some files and my Chinese 60watt RDworks locked up. I tried to use the RD8888 password to reset the system but it says password error. When I reset the machine I see the loaded file but cannot access any of them. It does not read the Flash drive. I am at a loss where to start with this. The Company (It is only three months old will not even return a email)
I want to do what I can before having someone like Ray at Rabbit come. I have already had to replace the Laser tube.
Anyone have any ideas or a good troubleshoot of the controller?

Hi Roy, If you would put all of your info in your signature you would get more response. We need to know what equipment you have.
besides the flash drive have you tried to hook up using usb from the computer and control it from there? Does your controller have an Ethernet port?
Do you have a backup settings file ? Do you have a backup user file ? It's important that you don't erase the memory on the controller without having these files. There are other passwords that can corrupt your machine but can help reset it but you should have these files

This is a 60 Watt laser with a RDC644XG controller I think. the box does not have and label. It resets the system set with the CC8888 pass word but I can not reset the Factory reset. RD8888 does not work. I hate to replace the controller just because I can't find the proper password. A cvourse the ChineseLiaocheng city Dongchangfu District Branch painted laser equipment Co. company which this is in warranty with doesn't even return emails. I feel that if I can just get it to reset I will be ok.

Roy I had the same problem but got rd8888 to work by running it in lower case instead of upper- Might help...

[Ron Gosnell]

Roy these passwords can possibly corupt your controller if you enter them on the LCD of the controller instead of using the computer. I don't know how or why it's just something I have read. I did not see anything about corruption if you use these passwords in RDWORKS. Do some searching on this.

If you have rdworks on your computer and you have read and saved the controllers factory settings you can write them back to the controller through RDWorks.

I'm sorry I cant give you anymore info than that. Best of luck to you.

Google search these terms and several topics will come up.

You need to go watch rdworks learning Lab episode 74 and 77 on YouTube. Before before you screw things up further.

Also manual is available on the rdworks forum at rdworksforum.com go read it! Will help a lot, It is a good English version that is best out there, not a poor translation into chinglish. join forum there and several may can help you.

I do know that if I have a large file in top memory position it takes a while to delete. Don't be impatient let it think. It is a slow computer sometimes. I wouldn't use those passwords unless you have no choice. Good luck.

John,

Just FYI. RDWorksforum.com doesn't work. Is that the address you meant to put out? Or was it RDWorkslab.com?

Happy Boxing Day to all BTW! <grin>

There are some machine files there for download as well as an English rdworks manual. I'm not promoting a different forum, I just believe that Roy would benefit more for his particular problem

Ron and John,

If I read that forum right those of us need to be "invited to join" and in the registration provide a code to prove we aren't nefarious automated systems? Any chance one of you could do that please?

Thanks!

Dave

[John Noell]

Hmm, I don't think you really need an invitation but if you do, I will be happy to provide it, if I can. I registered without an invite. ??? It is a slightly convoluted registration process (to keep he bots out I guess).

[David Somers]

Thanks John! I will pop back to their site and double check the process and get back to you if I need an invite! Thanks for the offer!

Hope you two had a delightful Christmas and havent suffered too much from the cold, miserable weather in Fiji this time of year? <grin> And that you have a wondeful New Year coming up!!!!

Dave

[David Somers]

John,

Thanks again for the offer. Their main page says that an aspiring user needs to use their "contact me" option to send a request for a membership to their site admins. They will get back to me once approved or denied. I just submitted that with all the information they asked for so will see how this goes. (when you are a scurrilous scalliwag on forums one never knows the kind of reception one will get)

Thanks again!

Dave

[John Kleiber]

I have RDworks. Would it be possible to send me an invite also?

Thanks
John

[Dave Sheldrake]

Thanks John! I will pop back to their site and double check the process

Grab me on Facebook Dave and I'll give you a few reasons why you shouldn't bother
