Yellow button and laser head won't move

Hi there,

I was in the middle of a vector cut on mylar when the glowforge pro simply stopped moving and the button turned deep yellow. The software continued to count down as if it were still cutting.

I turned the machine off for 1 minute, turned it back on and the problem persists. I’ve done this numerous times now and when the machine comes back on, the software says it’s focusing but the laser head does not move what so ever.

Please help!

I am sure support will be along soon and look at your logs. In the meantime, have you tried reseating the white cable in the printhead?
