    Hey Ken,  need a little help, just bought this this month, its a 24 laserpoint/stand model and it has been working fine.

    I am about to make an 8' sign and simply turned it on.  it came on , cycled, i put it off line, ran some vinyl through for length and all of a sudden

    the fan motor started skipping, starting , stopping , starting, etc. and the screen on the cutter went blank and won't come on.

    i have unplugged it, taken everything off the plug except it. still sputters like an old car trying to crank.?

    I am semi-mechanically inclined, so if there is something that i can do let me know.  It is under warranty so i don't want to go tinkering around

    and mess up my warranty unless you tell me too.  Up till now it has been great.  I have never used a vinyl cutter before but do a lot of printing with

    dyesub, corel draw, etc. so I am basically knowledgeable about what should happen.

    I was not trying to cut yet when this happened, just getting some vinyl ready...  thanks, ron

    I've hesitated for 3 days now to ask a dumb question, but I guess it's not dumb if i don't know. lol

    I'm new to vinyl cutting , not to computors.

    I've read, tried everything, and i am missing something..

    when i send a cut to the cutter it responds but goes all the way to the left and hits the red kill button, so everything locks up and stops.

    all i notice that i can't seem to change is the red rectangle sign outline on my screen in sb is about a 1/4" to the left of zero.

    so, i tried to move it.  i tried to change the "home" starting spot and it seemed to do it but still runs to the left all the way.

    it is trying to load like i would assume it should .  It is new out of the box and i love it .  it just doesn't like something i'm doing or not doing to it right now.

    sort of like my wife........lol

    i think it will be something one of you would probably laugh at but i'm stuck and would appreciate a little help .  thanks

    I JUST NOTICED THAT ON THE CUTTER IN OF LINE THE X VALUE IS 25500 AND THE Y IS 25856,  WHAT IS THE NORMAL FOR THOSE ?

    I just posted a similar question.  only mine runs to the left until it hits the red button.

    i'm sure it is something in sb, but when you are new , it is like finding a needle in that haystack.

    don't know what to look for nor where ?

    this sign outline on mine is about a quarter inch past zero but i can't find out how to move it yet..  i'll keep watching and trying..
