How To Change Laser Module For Your Algo Pixi
Replacing the laser module on your Algo Pixi laser engraver is a practical and user-friendly solution when the original module is damaged during shipping or stops working properly. This laser module replacement tutorial is designed specifically for users who have contacted AlgoLaser after-sales support and received a brand-new replacement laser module. By following the official tutorial video and the steps below, you can safely complete the replacement yourself and get your laser engraver back to work quickly.
When Do You Need an Algo Pixi Laser Module Replacement?
In most cases, users only need to change the laser module if the machine arrives with a damaged laser module or if the laser output becomes unstable. Common symptoms include the laser engraver not working, weak engraving results, or visible physical damage to the diode laser module. To reduce downtime, AlgoLaser provides an official replacement module, allowing users to perform the repair without returning the entire machine.
Step 1: Power Off and Open the Top Cover
Before starting any laser engraver maintenance, turn off the Algo Pixi and unplug the power cable. This step is essential for safety. Next, open the top cover of the machine to access the internal components. A clean and well-lit workspace makes the laser module installation process easier and more accurate.
Step 2: Disconnect the Damaged Laser Module
Locate the existing diode laser module inside the machine. Carefully unplug the laser module cable from the motherboard, making sure to pull straight out to avoid bending pins. Then loosen the screws securing the module and remove it from the gantry. This step is a key part of laser engraver troubleshooting when replacing faulty components.
Step 3: Install the New Replacement Laser Module
Position the new Algo Pixi laser module replacement in the same orientation as the original. Secure it using the original screws, ensuring the module sits firmly. Next, align the connectors correctly and reconnect the cable to the motherboard. Proper laser module connection is critical for stable performance.
Step 4: Final Check and Testing
Before closing the top cover, double-check that all cables are secure and not pinched. Power on the machine and run a quick framing or test engraving. This confirms the laser module replacement guide steps were completed correctly.
