Well.. I killed it. My overpriced Micromark machine. I was cutting some 1/4" mahogany (med-high power, low speed, water at 67 degrees, and multiple passes) and turned to talk to my wife and knocked the power control knob to max. About a minute or less (so it seemed), something in the power supply area snapped, screamed and zapped a lot. Looks like I fried the power supply. So, a couple of questions while mentally sort out the damage....
I should point out that the tube isn't the stock "40W" as claimed (720mm) but a 45W (1000mm) from Lightobject.
1) Should I replace the tube also? I'm thinking yes... and would rather be safe than sorry.
2) The controller board.... is there a likelihood that it's damaged?
I'm just not sure what the failure mode here is....
Damage control is reporting that replacement of the parts is cheaper than replacing the machine...
Thanks for the help.
