Has anyone experienced premature death of their laser tubes. I ran a job last night of about 14 wine glasses with no problem.

Came in this morning to run a new job and no laser output. Trouble shot the machine with Epilog support confirmed all diagnostic lights were correct and that signals were being sent to the tube. Their conclusion is that my tube died. Epilog was real good about it, and they're rushing me a tube overnight for morning delivery with no deposit charge, so I'm happy with their response, but I hope this is the exception and not the norm.

My machine is about 8 weeks old with no more than 10 hours on it. Has anyone else experienced this or heard of this happening so prematurely?
