    Looking at the pictures attached, I can only wish you good luck with the head. I am sorry but you need to know what you are doing when you take the cover off one of these heads.

    Wow.... this is a first
    If the reason is anything but a reverse engineering attempt, it was a bad, bad move...
    BTW, if one wants some success with reverse engineering he should know that he must be much smarter than the guys who designed this laser. Theoretically it's not a challenge, but manufacturing it is

    One of the safe guards against reverse engineering the Creo thermal heads had (still have?) is a self destruct mechanism. It would be activated if the head was tampered with.

    best, gordo

    I think if you are trying to repair the head, it is not a good idea to open it.

    Interesting, Gordo... that's not something that even I've heard of before. However, I will agree that they're not designed for internal repair in the field. Our standard practice is to swap heads in the field if needed, and rebuild/remanufacture them in our lab (in Vancouver) where we have the proper tools and procedures.

    Thumbs down

    MMMSJ is a VERY brave but rather silly to open up and attempt to repair a THead. NOT a good idea.
