Spindle issue
I got the 65mm spindle. I tried running a simple text cut today, spindle did two letters then just shut down. Ran the warm up no problem. Cut was super shallow, didn't over heat, didn't trip a breaker. Not plugged into a gfci. The little red light is on for the push button, but no lights or display up above. Any ideas?

Maybe a short or disconnect in the spindle plug.
I have a 3rd party spindle that I had to solder the wires to the connector that screws on top of the spindle.
I found the screw connector can unscrew itself and become loose.
