Power Ultra 205 Plasma Problems

I have used my Power Ultra 205 several times since receiving it in mid June but encountered my first problem with it tonite. I was cutting some 1/8 thick square tubing with the plasma cutter and the machine began to make an audible arcing/hissing/snapping sound inside. The indicator LEDs went out but the fans continued to run. I shut it off for several minutes and tried it again...that same arcing/hissing/snapping sound. I looked through the finned grill work on the front of the machine and could see arcing within. I don't know what to do now...please help. :cry:

BigMacWelds,

Nice talking to you and very sorry we could not run all the testing I would have liked. I sent an email also where we left off on debugging the unit. Ask for ext. 201 and they will take care of you from here.

everlast_support,

Yes...it was good talking with you, too. Thanks for the quick reply (phone call). Although I'm disappointed that the unit isn't working right, I am happy about all the great support Everlast is providing. Mike R (Tech Support), Alex, Katya, and the rest...you are really going out of your way to makes things right. That means a lot to me. I look forward to getting this straightened out. Thanks again for all the help...
