  • If you are looking to replace your control board on your MK2, this video is for you. If it is broken or you just want to upgrade to the new v1.3 board, here is how you do it. I am not a pro, attempt at your own risk.

    Clack, thanks for the board update, however because of this video I checked my MK2 board and mine is currently 1.3

      How new is your machine, getting ready to buy one from the preorder they have right now.
      Don't want to be in a situation where I need to update a new machine right away

      Justin, I received my mk2 about 45 days ago. I had to wait a week before shipping, that took a week to get to Missouri, mine came in two boxes, about three days apart. FedEx if I recall

      ​@@Sparky056hey, I'm in Missouri too! Lol
      Why was it in two boxes? The laser and the rotary?
      Also, glad to hear they seem to have just switched to the newer board. Thanks for the reply!

      The machine is in one box and the laser is in box 2
      I really enjoy mine. I have another laser add on to my x-carve CNC router. it’s a POS

    Great video. Even though I do not have Lasermatic, it was very informative and can certainly apply some of the techniques to other devices.

      The lasers are mostly very similar. Thanks

    Hey, when you retire you can work for Leo installing the circuit boards!
    My MK2 just got here today, and it's still in the box. I hope it has the 1.3 board, or i will need you to swing by and replace mine! Great video! Greg

    At first I was confused by the title as you had mentioned that you were waiting on a board for your xtool
    Guess just bad timing on both going bad around same time, good to know their support is good though 🙂

    Be very careful when disconnecting the WiFi antenna from the board. I though I was and still popped the connector off the new board.

    • @TheClackShack
      @TheClackShack  4 місяці тому

      Yes, they can be a pain. I hate them in laptops, it usually is much more difficult to reconnect without breaking anything.

  • @mikedoyle5362

    For the antenna could it have just been unplugged from the board?

      It could have, I was gonna put the new one on while I was working. Just in case.

    You could take the bottom panel out to maybe allow your hand to come from a different angle?

      @@TheClackShack I was just thinking maybe take the panel off then you could pull machine forward on table then have a hand from top and one going under and thru?
      Taking the post off would probably have made the biggest difference, just wasn't sure how that was attached.

    Does this apply to the Lasermatic MK1 (original)

      I would imagine it is similar, the wiring could be slightly different. Take photos.

      Roly has a replacement board listet for the 10 in their shop. 75$ , but currently sold out. Looks identical.
