    Laser Does Not Home

    Hello,

    I have attached a video showing my problem, but for those who can't see it, I will describe my issue.

    Let's say I have my laser head out in the middle of my machine and the machine is on, but the lid is open. If it were working properly, when I close the lid the laser head would move all the way to the left, then to the top. This is not occurring, instead it is moving all the way to the left, then down a little bit... then down again a little bit.

    It was working just fine, then this started. Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Ian

    P.S. This machine is a 100 watt laser from China.

    Yes, I am. I have not been able to resolve this. I have changed motherboards and limit switches. Nothing seems to fix anything.

    Any ideas about my problem are welcome.

    Thanks.

    Sure thing!

    Here's some pics of the limit switches and one of laser head. I am not sure what you mean by "probe," so I don't have a picture of that. Perhaps, if you describe this probe to me I can find it.
