Any one know what the issue could be.

Thanks in advance

Internal MCB/Isolator on?
Most have a IEC power cord that plugs into a socket INSIDE the machine; Is it seated fully?
Most have 2 x PSU's (plus a Laser PSU), One for The control system, one for the stepper motors... Surely both cannot have failed?
(check for lights on the stepper motor controllers)

A multi tester would tell you alot! :)

Hi thank you for your reply. It was a 250v glass fuse which was located under the power socket that blew, so was easiy fixed inthe end.

I'm new to laser machines and not having a luck or much help from who I purchased it off. Ive loaded the laserworks software and attempted to do some test cuts. I drew a simple circle and square about have come out stretched like ovals and rectangles and neither have cut just engraved even though I set the speed and power to cut. Any idea what could be causing this?

Thanks
again
