    Everything is very easy First of all check autofocus. Try to move it up and down, spray WD40 inside, so try to clean it. If it not help - disconnect autofocus at all.

    If still problem exist - check autofocus cable - it could be shortage.

    Another possible problem - end cap of TABLE UPPER POSITION. End cap is located like on marked on picture. On picture is SPIRIT GE but location onn Mercury table is similar

    THANKS

    All fixed, thank you!

    I looked at the autofocus, and the pin was stuck in the 'up' position.

    I've pulled it down, and the table is now working. I'll apply some WD40 to the pin and hope that it stops it from sticking.

    This happens all the time, also make sure to keep the limit switches clean and watch out for small pieces of acrylic that can get stuck in the belt track.

    Hey group,

    How about this one? I am suffering from the total opposite. My Pinnacle Mercury 25W will not auto focus. It keeps on going up until the limit switch is pushed. It is not the auto focus switch as I did a continuity check and the switch works. It is not the wire harness as these are good as well.

    It could be the ribbon or the controller. The auto focus works every now and then but 99% of the time I have needed to do a manual auto focus.

    This is not killing me but if anyone can offer some insight, it will be appreciated. I am about to try a firmware upgrade to see if that fixes the problem. Will inform on the results.

    Anytime I have had to service this item it was because the focus stick was sticking. Make sure you clean it very good with every job.
