Bosch gpl5 laser troubleshooting

Potential causes and fixes:

Battery Terminal Corrosion:
Cause: If your Bosch laser receiver has been submerged in water, the battery contacts and sometimes the circuit board may have corroded.
Fix:
Remove the batteries and clean the battery terminal contacts.
Pry open the bottom cover and clean any corrosion on the circuit board.

Calibration Issues (for Bosch GLL 2-20):
Cause: Dropping the Bosch GLL 2-20 can lead to misalignment and errors.

Fix:
The best way to address this problem is to calibrate the laser level.
You can either contact the Bosch service center or follow the calibration instructions in the manual.
General steps for calibrating a laser level with a misaligned pendulum:
Remove the screws and outer cover.
Locate the pendulum hanging in its stationary position.
Remove the glass window of the laser level.
Adjust the stationary position of the hanging pendulum using the main adjustment screw.
Fine-tune right-left adjustments using other smaller adjustment screws.
Reassemble the laser level.

Cracked Glass Lens (for Bosch GLL 2-50):
Cause: If the horizontal glass lens is cracked, it affects accuracy and safety.

Fix:
Unfortunately, this problem is often unrepairable.
It's advisable to replace the laser level to ensure safe operation1.
Remember to lock your laser level when not in use or during transportation to prevent pendulum movement1. If these steps don't resolve the issue, consider reaching out to Bosch for professional assistance or repair

Question edited for 'make model (what it is)'.
Question moved from Drills to model category.

Is it new and under warranty?
You say it works, but is doesn't turn on. It can't be both. Details say that once you turn it on, you have to press another button to make it work. Presumably to make sure you don't get the laser in the eye or someone else's eye.
Secondhand and battery worn out?

If you've replaced the batteries in your Robotoolz laser level but it still won't turn on and the swivel mechanism isn't functioning, there could be a few potential issues causing the problem. Here are some suggestions to troubleshoot the issue:
1. **Battery Polarity:** Double-check that you've inserted the batteries with the correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated on the device. Sometimes, incorrect battery placement can prevent the device from turning on.
2. **Battery Contacts:** Ensure that the battery contacts are clean and free from corrosion. Use a clean cloth or a cotton swab to clean the contacts in the battery compartment.
3. **Battery Compartment Door:** Make sure the battery compartment door is securely closed and latched. Some devices have safety switches that prevent operation when the door is not properly closed.
4. **Reset:** Some laser levels have a reset button or procedure. Check the user manual for your specific model to see if there's a reset function you can try.
5. **Calibration:** Some laser levels require calibration before they can operate. Refer to the user manual to see if your laser level requires calibration and follow the provided instructions.
6. **Electrical Issues:** If the laser level was exposed to moisture or extreme conditions, it's possible that internal electrical components might have been damaged. In such cases, professional repair might be necessary.
7. **Mechanical Issues:** If the swivel mechanism isn't functioning, it could indicate a mechanical issue. Check for any obstructions or debris that might be preventing the swivel movement.
8. **Professional Inspection:** If you've tried the above steps and the laser level still won't turn on or function properly, it might be best to seek professional assistance. There could be internal components that need repair or replacement.
9. **Manufacturer Support:** Contact the manufacturer's customer support for guidance. They might be able to provide specific troubleshooting steps or recommend a repair service.
Keep in mind that laser levels are precision instruments, and improper handling or disassembly could lead to further damage. If you're not comfortable troubleshooting or repairing the laser level yourself, it's best to seek professional help to avoid causing more harm to the device.

If your Craftsman 320.48247 laser level is not working with new batteries, there could be a few different issues causing the problem. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check the battery connections: Make sure the batteries are properly installed and the connections are clean and secure. If the batteries are not making good contact with the terminals, it can cause the laser level to malfunction.
2. Check the battery type: Make sure you are using the correct type of batteries for your laser level. Using the wrong type of batteries can cause the laser level to malfunction.
3. Check the laser diode: If the laser diode is damaged or not functioning properly, it can cause the laser level to malfunction. You can check the laser diode by inspecting it for any visible damage or looseness and making sure it is properly aligned.
4. Check the lens: If the lens is dirty or damaged, it can cause the laser level to malfunction. Clean the lens with a soft, dry cloth and make sure it is not damaged or cracked.
5. Check for any other visible issues: Inspect the laser level and its components for any visible issues that may be causing the laser level to malfunction. This can include debris or foreign objects that may have gotten stuck in the laser level, or damage to the laser level or its components.

If you have tried these troubleshooting steps and the problem persists, it may be necessary to have the laser level serviced by a professional. A technician will be able to diagnose the problem and determine the necessary repairs.

Make sure you put the batteries in right

Improper storage (I've done it too), usually means that the batteries have become too hot - and
therefore weak. The first thing I'd try is changing the batteries.
The 635nm laser operates on (4) AA batteries, and the rotary uses (1) 9V battery.
The online reviews for this a horrifically bad - see:

sounds like the switch on the back of the steering lock has packed up,if i had car in front of me i could soon check it out.Try hot wiring it with a paper clip to see if it starts

It doesn't sound like a power issue. Most likely it either needs cleaned, or it needs the laser recalibrated or replaced. Try cleaning the glass for starters, and then hold the scanner about two inches from a white piece of paper. You should get a solid, bright red line. If the line is distorted you need to recalibrate the laser. If it's dim, the laser unit is going out. The laser can be replaced, but I don't know if it's one of those things where the part plus labor costs more than replacing the scanner.
