    Default laser quit firing- bad power supply maybe

    just used it a couple of days ago. Went to use it today and no beam. Opened up the back and all the light are on, except on the power supply. I hold in the test button on it, and can get the laser to fire.

    Is the power supply bad? Is there a fuse I might be missing? Where can I get one the quickest if its the power supply?

    Its a 110v supply powering a 60W CO2 laser.

    Hurricane lasers model charley.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    When you say the lights are all on, does that include the yellow light on your blue power supply? If not, the magnet may not be engaging on the lid or the water switch is not allowing the power supply to think all of the safety measures are in place.

    Here is a list of things to check:

    Is the control panel on and working (if not - stop switch, key switch, 24v power)

    Is the magnet engaged?”The amber light on the power supply will be lit

    if not magnet switch and light is off - Check Water Pressure Switch

    Are the anode and cathode wires attached to the tube correctly and tightly?

    Check the water chiller - water is flowing and ON

    Check Loose wires and cables to the control Card from the blue power supply.

    Wires from power supply to the laser tube are testing for continuity.
