Need Help With Emulator

I need help with a hardware issue that I am having with an old Emulator. Not a programming issue but a component issue and I am stuck. Any information or guidance will be appreciated.

Problem:

During self-test mode everything seems to be operating normally except for the 2 mirrors at the front (Galvos??). I checked the F-1/F-2 fuses as directed in the manual but still nothing. I swapped the galvos with 2 different ones and still nothing. They are magnetized and hold in position when powered on but just do not move like they are supposed to.


Any ideas on what to check or replace? I don't want to buy a bunch of parts and replace them if not needed since they arerather expensive.

Thanks for any information.

    There is a heatsink for the driver located at IC15. It is possible that the heatsink may have damaged the traces directly below it. If the traces look OK then try replacing. IC15.

    Any idea what the part# for IC15 is from lightparts.com? If it is a part I can order?
    I have 3 of the 4 working thanks for the help...it would just be super sweeeet to get the 4th back on the floor.

    Thanks for the help!
