Question…….should I leave everything connected or disconnect everything & just apply power to the board?

Thank u very much on ur knowledge. I am currently replacing some burnt capacitors on my board. I have had this happen two other times but it always has been replace the caps & I was back up & running. This time has been different. I have gotten an error on the x-axis & it just continuously beeps...

I couldn’t agree more. Besides the burning of these capacitors I e never had a problem. Gerber deff makes great products.

Thank you for ur knowledge. I w/ check that as well. This is all new to me & I am learning as we go. So in the past I have had them just replace the burnt cap, but I w/ take ur advice & replace all. The unit is from 2005 & we are located in Florida w/ TONS of humidity.

So I used ur link, thank u. It was a bit more than $35, but sounds like a meter I w/ use often.

Thank you for ur advice. I have had 3 capacitors go out on me since 2005. I w/ deff get a fester & go thru them all. Would that also be the reason for my x-axis/encoder fault?

My machine has ran flawless for over 13yrs. One evening I walked out to do a job & got a contineus beep & a message stating x axis error/encoder. Shortly after I noticed it burned out a capacitor on my main board. Anyone out there have any suggestions. I got a new capacitor & w/ have it replaced...
