Does anyone have contact details for repair in scotland?
Hi,
My Creation P-Cut will not fire up. Does anyone have any contact details of someone in Scotland who could repair this for me? I’m in the central belt closer to Edinburgh.Thanks

Sorry can’t help with an engineer but if you do find one it may be very expensive. Have you any idea at all what is wrong with it ? How old is it, how much use has it had ?
If you can give us a bit more detail about the problem then someone on the boards might be able to help. Have you tried contacting the supplier? -
Have you looked at the fuse in the machine?

make sure the carriage is not hitting one of the reset buttons. I did that and it took me a good half hour to notice.

I’ve got a new power module for my creation p-cut 630 but the old board does not have the info on each of the terminals. Does anyone know which wire goes where? I don’t want to blow the new board.

blue- n (neutral)
brown – l (live)
green/yellow – earth – the last one with the lines.Same wiring as fond an most common household plugs and electrics.

Do you mean the connections for the output terminals ( the 5-0-0-12-36 ) part ?
If the old board isnt working ( i.e. no power going to the output terminals ), without a schematic your a bit stuck as you know what the output voltages are, but not which colour wires they need connecting to, and if you ( for example ) connect the 5V wire to the 36V terminal you are probably going to fry the rest of the chips.
TBH I would have thought the person who supplied the power supply should have a schematic of the cutter and could tell you, or the person you bought the cutter from in the first place.

In fact, if you cant get this info, the only way I can see you can make sure you connect it up correctly is to find someone with a working one and get them to measure the voltage on the output terminals and tell you which colour wire is for which voltage.
Dont assume that the 5 terminals are in the same order on the new board as the old one as its quite possible they arent !

Give this guy a call, he maybe able to help you.
Ken knows allot about many machines. He may be able to help and hes not far from you.
im sure hes from Midlothian.

This might sound like a silly question but I am assuming you didn’t find an engineer before so how do you know the power module is the problem and if it was why did it fail?
Just wouldn’t want to see anyone waste money by putting in a new board to find the machine still didn’t work or worse still blow up another power board because the original fault was elsewhere. -
Assuming you did test the power supply to make sure it was definitely dead ( and checked any internal or external fuses on the machine ) – in general power supplies stop working because one of the electrolytic capacitors fails ( the large dark blue caps with the metal tops ) – the only other thing that generally goes wrong is a fault with the transformer, and this isnt that common.
If you cant get any joy, if you take the machine to any electronic engineer ( possibly someone who does electronic / electrical repairs ) they should be able to work out what goes where.
There isnt really much to the circuitry of a cutter so it shouldnt take them long to work out the connections.

Thanks for the info guys. I took it along to an electrical engineer in Falkirk (Nieto Electronics). This guy worked out the problem in 5 mins and replaced a fried diode. He then measured the voltages and gave me a sheet with all the info on it so I could use the new power board if need be. Thanks for the advice. Seems to be working fine now.
