ISSUE or REQUEST: Laser cutter isn’t working. I’m pretty sure it’s the usb cable that is loose. I’ve tried moving it around and securing it in place with no luck. The laser cutter shows a “No device connected” error and Lightburn gives a transfer failed error.
Affected Tool or Resource: [REPLACEME] A 9ft+ usb replacement cable

I tried a longer cable right now and it’s a little less wobbly than the one that was in the laser cutter. It is probably the jack I managed to get that one to work after moving it around, but it would lose connection while being plugged in.
I didn’t notice any changes other than the ones you’ve made to the room. I did find a yellow caution sign directly in front of the door on my way in. I happened to see Charlie walking by and asked him if he knew anything about it. He said someone must have placed it there while moving things around.
A couple of members mentioned this has been an issue for them before and they’ve been able to secure the cable and restore a connection. I’ve never encountered this issue and didn’t have such luck.
