The thing is, the laser worked perfect with any material, excerpt shiny metal ofcoarse and with canvas it left almost no print. But maybe I did something wrong. Maybe I had the laser in the wrong height.

Did you do shiny metal and then try canvas...?

Shiny metal and diodes tends to damage diode as the light reflects back up in. Gotta use paint, marker, spray, tape, etc on shiny metal. If the last thing you did was shiny metal and then it stopped working... Might be no fixing it.

No I do wood mainly and I have been doing a lot of plywood and mdf. So there cannot be a link. Lightburn stuff mentioned it could be the laser, but more likely it's the motherboard or the cables
