    Well tried leaving the screen unhooked along with the mouse and keyboard with no luck. I'm gonna try ordering some more power cables and ethernet cables that are as short as I can get away with this week. And I'd like to try putting mach and sheetcam on my laptop if it wouldn't be to much trouble.

    Have you had any luck getting this sorted out?
    My computer was doa when I got my machine(bad ram or something), but I was able to take the hard drive out and clone it to a little solid state drive I had for my laptop then install it in there and run it for a while as my computer was being replaced. It worked pretty well, some of the display settings were wonky and I couldn't see the whole mach screen. It did work tho and all setting transfer that way.

    I think we found his issue last night. The Ethernet or USB driver is being allowed to turn off the PC to conserve power when the PC is using its most resources while cutting. Walter should know very soon.

    Well got the pwm in today so I ran out to give it a try and still the same thing. Only about 8 to 10 volts show on mach. Think the 50 to 1 in the hypertherm could have died ?

    You need to test the divided tip volts on the little black plug. It should put out 3.0-3.2V DC when you fire it.

    I'm getting .1 volt. That's with a craftsman meter. I'm gonna grab my good fluke tmrw at work and I'll test with that and see what I get.

    Sounds like the divided tip volts board died in the Hypertherm. You should also test it AT THE CPC on the back of the unit to eliminate the cable from the issue. Check your manual for a pinout of the CPC. Youll need to jump pins 3 and 4 to get it to fire and run your meter on 5 and 6 to check voltage.

    I checked with my other meter yesterday and ended up with .1 volts on the head phone jack. I'll check direct to the plug and see what I get. Do I need to get in touch with hypertherm if that test bad?

    No, I will see that a divided tip volts replacement field install kit gets sent to you directly from Hypertherm.
