My Grizzly G0619 mill

 Well this was unexpected. The laptop currently running the Mach3 on the mill decided it had enough.
Now I have to scramble to get the G0619 switched over to Linuxcnc. Fortunately I already have most of the
parts to do it . I have a Dell Optiplex 9020m for the computer. A new 7i76e board ready to go.
A  new larger controller box 24" x  20" x 8" ready for holes. I have an adapter board to control the spindle .
I can salvage most of the parts from the current control box .  However I need to get some power supplies.
It's always something.

Usually i would say "i am sorry for your loss", but not for this ...
Edit:
Cr@p, i should have said "i do not blame the laptop, poor thing... "
To late!

LOL. I don't blame the laptop for giving up either. It's just the timing was a little
inconvenient.

PSST . it seems the processor cooling fan failed. I just needed an excuse .

To bad you are far, i have 5 of them at my reach right now, Brother moved to USA so he found it prudent to leave 2 of them to me, as if i did not have enough!
The also bad thing is they suck for LinuxCNC, latency is utterly useless.

the Laptop is a Dell Latitude 6330. I will be changing the CPU fan out I just don't want to take
the entire laptop apart right now. I was actually swapping ssd's back and forth . I had 1
with windows 7 and the Mach3 on it and the other had Linux Mint 19.3 but no LinuxCNC .

You do have a compressor right?
Use it, give it a good dust off and listen if the fan spins, usually that takes care of it for quite a while.
