USCutter SC Series Motherboard

Replacement Guide

Tools needed:

 Philips Screw driver

 Small or Needle nose pliers

 Tape & a Marker

Average time to complete process:

 20 – 30 mins

This tutorial assumes that previous trouble shooting with a USCutter Technical Support Representative has determined

your SC Series motherboard to require replacement. Your cutter should be un-plugged from power throughout this

process. There are a variety of issues that would require a motherboard replacement, all of them stemming from hardware

failures only. The most common causes for motherboard replacement are:

 Jerky or inconsistent movement of the carriage or feed-rollers when “jogging” or

changing the home origin on the cutter.

 Grinding sound when “jogging” the feed-rollers or carriage* or no movement at all

 Unidentifiable characters (gibberish) displayed on the cutter’s LCD screen

 Flashing lights on the menu and/or carriage arm jumping up and down repeatedly

*A grinding sound when you first turn the cutter on likely indicates that the carriage bracket in the back of the machine is not making contact with

the green limit switch. This can be the result of the carriage having come off the track and is not a Motherboard failure.
