====== Trotec Rotary Not Working / Connection ====== | |||
The fix was replacing a fuse in the fuse box, but the cause of the blown fuse is less obvious | |||
The molex connector wasn’t connected properly on the rotary’s end. One of the pins was wedged up toward the top. I think the fuse blew when I tried to use it. I had to tweeze the connector back to proper shape. | |||
Extra replacement fuses are in the drawer, but it’s going good now. | |||
This is as good a place as any to say be VERY careful when plugging in the molex connector, the machine has to be '''''off''''' and if it fights you at all it is in the wrong way. Inspect the cable and see which side the little clippy thing has broken off, and line it up to the little clippy thing on the port. | |||
Also, when carrying the rotary out of the classroom (carpet) be sure you are only touching the metal parts, not the inexplicably-exposed pcb at the bottom, as ESD is common for that reason per the technician. | |||
