g 0 Posted March 29, 2017 I just replaced the z axis chip and the cutter drops and moves side to side but the rollers don't move at all so the vinyl just stays in place. Is there anything I can do? What is going on? Please help! I couldn't find anything in this forum to help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted March 29, 2017 maybe you didn't get the wire to the y axis motor plugged back in correctly - that is if that was working before you replaced the chip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g 0 Posted March 29, 2017 I didn't unplug any wires when I replaced the chip. Is there a y axis chip or fix that you know of? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted March 29, 2017 I believe all the other chips are soldered in - I would double check the connections to make sure that one didn't get pulled a little and not seated correctly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g 0 Posted March 29, 2017 Do you happen to know which one that is? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted March 29, 2017 no I don't - are there any other chips on that board that are not soldered in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,450 Posted March 29, 2017 Tough one here -- I'm going to take a shot, and ask for 'g' to investigate the Home button switch (on my unit it's the red button on the right side). They are not likely to fail, but ya never know. Just looked at the USCUTTER replacement parts list, and it's not there anymore! (red button) --- for some reason they are offering a completely different switch now, but it's not the proper type for my MH model 871. http://www.uscutter.com/Kill-Switch-MH-Series-Vinyl-Cutters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
