30 watt Raycus fiber laser won't start up

Hello,

I bought this unit new from CloudRay 1.5 years ago and have only run it for approx. 40 hrs.

Today I went to turn it on and it wouldn’t start up. The “Laser Switch” attempts to start then shuts down. Any ideas on how to fix it would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Ron

I’ve since done a bit of investigation and notice that the power switch crackles and snaps when pushing it in. It appears to be damaged and may be the cause of the power supply not engaging for long.

I’m wondering if I should try to find a switch and replace it first?
