I have a Briot Accura CX which I have been using for half a year now with no issues.

Few days ago I powered it on to do a large batch of jobs and it came up with a message - Battery Voltage Low.

I did not think much of it as it did not affect operation of the machine and I was able to complete all the jobs.

Yesterday I powered on the machine and as it went through the initial checks where it does all the movements on the scanner and the edger I noticed the stylus did not do any movements.

I then went to do a scan and it came up with a message "Tracer not present".

I tried powering off and on a few times to no avail.

So far from researching the internet I found that to fix the Battery Voltage Low issue I must leave the machine powered on for 14 days.

However, is there anything I can do for the stylus issue?

I am in UK and the technician contact I have said he will be available in 3 weeks time to look into repairing this problem.

Is there anything I can do while I wait in case it is a simple fix?

I have not even been able to figure out how to open the top cover of the to have a closer look. I have the key for machine, but the cover does not lift off. Also the Briot Manual does not say how to open the top cover.

Any advice would be appreciated.
