Its now in diagnostic mode.
These lasers use safety interlocks . if any door is open or one of the magnetic safety locks is open or faulty , the laser will not fire. You need to use magnets to bypass em if you are trying to fire with a door open or if one of em is open.
Even in diagnostic mode , if the safety interlock circuit is open , the laser WILL NOT FIRE!!! If you cant bypass the switches with magnets , then trace the circuit to the motherboard and just join the 2 wires coming in (which will make the circuit)
Of all this doesnt work , Check the laser as well , it should be a synrad , mail synrad for some diagnostics if it isnt working , it needs a specific voltage and there is a led on the laser that should light...ask em. They can determine whether its a machine problem or a laser issue.
