pcut creation 630 decided to do its own thing

Recommended Posts

:thumbsup:

Hi all not been on in as while as my cutting life has been quite happy

Have a laserpoint 24 and  creation 630

today firing up my creation 630 ..it started doing weird things

starts the cut fine ..then after a moment or 2  start to wander off on its own  cutting something it thinks would look great,

I have to disagree with it  and stop and reset  then try again ..but no it really wants to go off and design some weird lines .

I slapped it around a bit  verbally  then reset everything checked the cables  etc etc  usual stuff ,

but no it has decided it doesnt want to do what I would like it to do anymore ..could this be the end of its life

not sure what other diagnostics to run  does the test rectangle fine  but wont acutally cut anything anymore

tried it with winpc sign and signcut  to no avail .any thoughts anyone

cheers

john

This issue is probably a bad motherboard, but there are a few things I would like to check.

What connection type are you using?

Does the problem occur with multiple designs? Try sending 1 letter to it, if it has the problem with this then you can pretty well assume it will have the problem with all designs.

How long have you had the unit?

Has it ever had any issues in the past?

For faster service you can call me at 888-298-8143.

Hi there thnx for the responses ..I have had the machine for at least 3 years

I did get a usb adapter ..but that was not good :-( couldnt get it to work at all

also bought an oem serial cable ..didnt  seem to help  still had the same problem .

checked the cables on my laserpoint, not a problem cuts fine using the serial  cable.

haven't done a letter at a time as yet ..will give that a whirl see what it does .

never had any issues with it in the past was always on the money for me

I run it on a xp pro system  windows 

not sure about the static thing never had that issue before ...??

I am feeling the motherboard maybe the reason ..I guess these things dont run forever :-)

is there anywhere to get another board ..so I can replace it ?

again thnx for all the help

John
