Hi there

I was cutting some acryllc when I smelt something strange from the machine other than the usual acrylic smell.

The laser lost power and there was also no register on the amp meter even though the dial was turned up to about 40 percent power

I checked the tube and found the end had detached, as in the picture.

I know the tube is now shot, but what else could be wrong? even if the end of the tube is detached (all the glass is still intact and no leaking water)

Is there something wrong with the electrics as well? If the tube is broken would the power going to the tube still register?
