Hello
I've found a NLC 600 argon laser on local scrapyard (I took it from high performance printing station), with PSU. Said PSU powers up and works normally, laser fans start ,but unfortunately it will not lase, current meter doesnt move, there is no discharge glow. Every 30 seconds or sth like this there is an audible click from laser head but absolutely nothing happens. Whole head is really dirty, gray and white dust everywhere (it can't be beryllia because bore isn't cracked - I checked it).
What can I do to make it start?
I will make and upload pics later
