The fan and air pump switch on the big laser has finally died.

Alex is ordering a new set due in on the 4th August.

Meanwhile I have plugged the power strip containing the fan and air pump directly to the wall socket next to the PC, it is marked with a yellow label.

Those electrics in the wall don't look to good either. Could do with fixing at the same time.

Does that translate into "The laser is out of order"??

Did the idea of moving the INOP switch across not work then?

The laser will run, it's just some wire moving around has happened to allow it :) Make sure the switches in that pictured socket are on.

That's correct.  It is usable and more reliable than it was, just a bit ugly so a short term fix.

I have ordered a LOAD of those red lot switches.  We will be able to replace the broken ones and have spares.

Scott is there any chance you could swap them out please?  

I will either bring them to rLab this evening myself or give them to Ryan.

Cheers

We need to separate the fan from a air pump at the back of the machine and revert to how it was before the first switch got faulty.
