MH 871-MK2 Cutting Issue

Recommended Posts

My cutter was working great and then the last week when I went to cut a big order its like the blade is dragging over the image and is cutting it all to pieces. Any suggestions??

Z-chip got zapped (static spark).

Don't know what to tell ya, those z-chips are rare as hens' teeth (USCutter doesn't sell that part anymore from what I can see).

If it was an original me I have z chips but on the later models like yours they are different or in most cases not in a socket any,ore requiring a new main board.  When looking for a board check and compare carefully as there have been several versions of the boards

Also, if you don't have the cutter grounded to the stand , if you have one, your likely to have the same problem again. The static comes from the vinyl moving back and forth.
