Yes, you can contact Mesa directly,

I asked specifically about switching the DC side of the field power because
if the card is repaired/replaced, if you switch the DC Field power, the
repaired/replaced card will be damaged as well.

(BTW do not apply fieldpower to the damaged 7I76E avoid further damage)

I have destroyed a few arduinos because I did not have spacers under the boards and I put them down on something metal bridging contacts.


Me too. I ended up buying 10 of them to keep up with the smoke signals!

With the 7i76e, there was no way it was powered up until it was fully mounted though

Update: Thcad300 arrived yesterday! Unfortunately no information from Mesa if the replacement 7i76e card as promised is on it's way... :S

Got time to read Hal and see Youtube Videos from Swolebro with lots of great Linuxcnc Info!
All the best!

so, finally the thing is half alive all switches, motors ok, setup hardware faults found, but since I struggle with the setup of limit switches could you kindly advice which setup as here 1 or 2 does a plasma table have.
Z is somehow clear when this is decided I hope.

does the tool coordinate system differ when you setup 1 or 2 ??
I have a problem understanding machine coordinates and tool coordinates..

I thought tool coordinates change from + to - and Gcodes then as well ...
