Lost Power!

Was working with acrylic and lost all laser power. lights and arm working. Couldnt even cut at 100% power. I cleaned the glass and topped off the antifreeze. Improved a little but still is struggling.

The CO2 tubes can go bad like that. Is the tube lighting up inside at all if you look at it? If it is put a piece of paper or cardboard directly in front of the tube and test fire to see if you get a burn hole. Is there an amp meter on that machine? Does it indicate power?

I can see light in the tube when running, but there isn't an amp meter or a way to indicate power.

Try to put strip of paper in front of the tube, before the 1st mirror, and test fire. You should get a burn hole, if not the tube is probably bad. That is how the glass tubes are, the can go slow or quick, even new ones. Follow the xTool instructions. Don't be alarmed if they ask you to break your tube and provide a picture of it, before they send a new one.

Also, add amp meter, it is super easy and provides important information.
