My cricut imagine says mat not detected, it will load the mat but stops partway in and says mat not detected.
I am using the correct mat, I did the hard reset but after I press the three buttons at the same time I get a rainbow screen and when I release the buttons I get a blue screen with a crosshairs on the upper left hand corner and that is all. I can't complete the reset as there no instructions

Cricut Explore Air 2 helps in cutting the beautifully intricate designs using the compatible cutting machines.

Also, check if the mat is not damaged, refer to the Cricut crafting guide for using the mat, use the compatible mat, and more.

If your Cricut machine is not cutting all the way through your material, or is only scoring the material, choose a machine below for specific troubleshooting tips. Fortunately this issue can usually be resolved with basic troubleshooting.
Remove the blade housing, then remove the blade and ensure that there are not any bits of paper stuck to the blade or lodged inside the blade housing. Ensure that you replace the blade housing correctly into the machine. Once clean, test your cuts again. If the blade and housing are already free from debris, or cleaning it did not help, proceed to 3.
Try an arm buoyancy test: gently press down on the black arms that surround the blade housing and then release them. Do they bounce right back up, or do they stick or rub in any way? If they stick or rub, please contact Customer Care through one of the options below for further assistance. If they bounce right back up when released, proceed to 4.
Increase the machine pressure settings and try your cuts again. If this does not change the cut result, proceed to 5.
Increase blade depth by turning the dial at the top of the blade housing. If this does not change the cut result, proceed to 6.
Perform a Hard Reset on the machine. If this does not help, proceed to 7.
If the machine is still not cutting through materials, or is only scoring the paper, please contact Customer Care through one of the options below for further assistance.
Retry your cuts with a new blade housing. If the issue persists, proceed to 8.
Attempt a Format and Restore on the machine through Cricut Sync. Please note that this step should only be taken if all other steps have failed to resolve the issue.
If this does not resolve the issue, please contact Customer Care through one of the options below for assistance.
Adjust/increase the Multi-Cut setting in the Cricut Craft Room cut preview screen and retry your cuts. If this does not change the cut result, proceed to 6.
If the machine is still only scoring or not cutting through the material, please contact Customer Care through one of the options below for assistance.

I need more information. Are you using Cricut Design Studio or cutting just from the cricut itself. If you're cutting from Design Studio then you need to make sure your letter is within the space of the mat. If there is some hanging off the edge or past the cut line then it will skip over it and not cut it.
I was reading lots of forums and tech support pages on how to get my Cricut back online. I went to the store and got the Deep Cutting Blade & Housing and I got two replacement blades for the original housing that came with the Cricut. I also bought a pack of new mats. I replaced the original blade with a new one, used a new mat, and tweaked the depth and speed of my cuts and my little Cricut is whirling again!
