Apparently there was a power outage while I was on vacation, and while power outages have happened before, this is the first time that it's killed my LaserPoint (first generation).  No fans, no beep, no rolling, no LCD.  I'm just thankful that it didn't kill my Graphtec too.

I have a feeling I know that the answer is to replace the circut board ($100ish) that handles the power, but is there anything else I need to take a look at, or is it even worth trying to resurrect this machine. I like having two machines I espcially like that I had the LP dialed in to cut reflective, since I've needed to take over making signs for a local tow company, instead of torturing my Graphtec for those jobs.

If anyone has any suggestions or input, I would greatly appreciate it.

You'll just need an electricity line meter (and verify if power is even being generated from the PSU - power supply unit).

While I understand that's a part for the LP3, not the LP you have, these things are fairly easy to source, and if that's the problem, you're only gonna have to fork over $50 or so for replacing it.
